This training drill can be used directly after your physical warm up to get the balls moving and also to get your players zoned in. It is also a great training to layer, meaning you can start it small and easily make it longer to suit both handballing and kicking without having to alter the...

GAME PLAN VIDEO PART 3 – FORWARDS
Part 1 looked at starting positioning. Part 2 looked at what the mids and wingers do at the stoppage clearance. Part 3 right here will look at how your forwards position and move based off how we want to move the ball out of the stoppage. If you go back to video 1 and 2...
GAME PLAN VIDEO PART 2 – MIDS/WINGS STOPPAGE CLEARANCE
Game Plan Video Part 1 looked at the starting positions to run this specific game plan from a stoppage. As stated in that post, if all players are not in the correct starting positions then there will be holes in your player and ball movement, and a turnover in a dangerous position might be on...
GAME PLAN VIDEO PART 1 – STARTING POSITIONING
I made this up late last year based on a specific but popular ball movement option of using the quarterback position at the stoppage. Utilising the quarterback player/s efficiently and effectively is a team strategy over individual, as it requires great discipline to initially set it up then also to hold your position, create the...
AWAY LEAD + SQUARE UP KICK DRILL
Here’s a kicking my own club has used quite a bit and I like it mainly because it’s practises a different kick then you normally do in your warm up (kick to space for a leading player rather then a linear lead or stationary target) That drill is pretty straight forward so I’ll show that...

STRAIGHTENING UP KICKING PART 3
Here’s another drill variation to reinforcing the habit of squaring up while kicking, 1 of the main attractors of successful kicking that ALL great players possess and display each and every time. For this drill you’ll have groups of 5 or so, but you can do more if you don’t have enough balls to go...

Pretty straight forward this one and not much to it so can be used for almost any team level or number of players. It will train clean hands on the receive and give, player and ball movement, quick transitions, high decision making volume, creating space and nice change of direction loading for the cherry on...
