Thanks to Meisha, Bronte, Alice, Milly, Esme, Claire O'B, Charlotte, Leila, Claire S, Kyah and Indigo (and Mums and Dads) for coming out today. It was a really positive and worthwhile session. You were all focussed and worked hard to develop your kicking skills.
Thanks also for your attention during my protracted discussion on tactics at the start of the session. If our squad is to develop like I know it can, we simply must start talking set plays, switches and rotations. Hopefully one day we'll have clubrooms and a whiteboard to do this in comfort, before hitting the pitch!
Our program for today consisted of the following elements:
1. Introduction to our rotational ‘slide’ and ‘switch’ strategy.
2. Kicking: Where are we going wrong?
3. Kicking: What can we do to improve?
4. Overview of long-range kicking styles:
• Bend
• Volley
• Bouncing Volley
• Straight-On Strike
5. One-on-one individual review/development of kicking styles.
6. DRILL 01: In pairs… roll set-up and strike to partner.
7. DRILL 02: In pairs… throw set-up and strike to partner.
8. DRILL 03: In pairs… volleying from seated position. Both feet.
9. Mini-Match and/or Circle-Work
Thanks to Jake S for coming out to assist today. I really appreciate your input, Jake.
See you all at our next training session, Tuesday 13 July, at 5pm.
