WHAT ARE AFFORDANCES? Affordances refers to practice design that involves the manipulation of task constraints, for the purpose of soliciting affordances for players to act upon. They present as opportunites/invitations for action and it’s up to the player whether to take them or not where a more attractive invite provides greater incentive to take it....
2021 POSSESSION FOOTY DRILL
The man on the mark drill has been a big inclusion to all footy leagues and grades this year so it stands to good reason that you need to focus on being able to exploit it to your advantage and this drill aimsat doing just that. This more a template of 1 way you can...
4 WEEKS TRAINING PART 6
SESSION #2 WARM UP – GROUNDBALL + HANDBALL REACTION INTO PUSH BACK KICK You’ll need groups of 3 with 1 ball per group and but not a lot of space, even with the kicking layer but feel free to use more players per group if you don’t have a heap of balls but make it...
COACHING PLAYER POSITIONING
Every Tuesday at the end of training we go through some vision from the previous week’s game senior game on things we did good and things we didn’t do so well and this clip was showed: https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/video-1620259859.mp4 For memory this was a “bad” one as sometimes we tend to ignore a simple/immediate option and continue...
FOOTY CLUB BUNDLE
When I originally moved to this membership based site my initial thought was to develop content for coaches, but moreso football clubs in general to purchase and then have on hand for all coaches at their clubs to use as required.

One was for touch/skill straight out of the player warm up and the other was for a pressure/tackling focus. KICK TO THE MIDDLE As you can see we...

THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS – STAGE #1 x TACTIC
Fotball coaches and players are always saying “we need tomake the right, or better, decisions”, but do we even know what makes up decison making and if not, than how do we know how we can improve decision making? Hopefully this helps clear that up a little more so here’s a nice little graphic I...
THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS – STAGE #2 x DECISION
Once the player has recognised what tactic is expected to be used in a particular situation, and once they have processed the information in front of them, now their decision of what to do next is made. So you get the ball and you know the basic tactic of what’s next which will re-direct your...
