warm ups?

September 10th - Under 13's - 16 children

A good session, utilising the 4 v 4 + 4 approach. The session centred on the players ability to undertake fast transitions from defence to attack. Session quality high, understanding of subject matter , high when tested during and after the session.

Since the course in July I have given much consideration to the content from the Sports Scientisit elements of the course - particularly the SAQ. I have chosen to adddress these issues with all ball based exercises. During this session our warm up comprised of numerous decision making exercises concluding in an aerobic ball based exercise.

The other realisation from this type of approach has been that the text book prescription of an ldeal session is a linear progression from warm up to end. I now approach the warm up as the time to prepare the body and the mind - so lots of gentle aerobic work coupled with high dexterity decision based drills- Hence many of my warm ups are not directly related to the session.
