This training activity is about moving the opposition which then opens up the space they just vacated, for your team to take advantage of.

Yesterday I was watching some Youtube while on my daily treadmill and I clicked on yet another ex-NBA and now-NBA commentator JJ Redick talking with Portland young stud Anfernee Simons about what was the biggest change/s for him coming from high school to the NBA.

It looks at positioning the head coach as a coach developer so they can carry out literal team coaching duties, like we see in the AFL with assistant coaches doing line duties, and development coaching doing, well, development. This leaves the...
First training activity for 2024 and it’s a genuine banger called Play Your Position. Even at local level footy is position-less for the most part with teams from all levels using zone defenses against kick outs and high defensive presses when the ball is in their own forward 50. This game is a great way...
