The Philosophy of Skill Development
SKILL DEVELOPMENT IS EQUAL PARTS OFFENCE AND CREATIVITY
Here is a good teaching sequence to follow:
- Name the skill and describe it
- Tell why it’s important and when it’s used. Highlight the key teaching points (key words or phrases used in instructing and giving feedback to your players)
( Can be skipped if the drill is being done regularly )
- Demonstrate
- State key points again
- Get players to practice the skill right away
- Get everyone involved
- Move around to each player
- Give individual feedback
- Get assistants to help
