A couple of weeks ago I dropped the first edition of this and with pre-season being the time to road test and refine new training activities, here’s another 20. Remember, these are training activities that I just have a short description of with no videos, images or diagrams but you’ll still be able to follow...
I’ve got a file over 100 pages that I constantly take and add to which makes up the training activities membership. Usually a training activity will have videos and/or images included to it but today we’re going streamline! These are training activities that I just have a short description of with no videos, images or...
This training activity is about moving the opposition which then opens up the space they just vacated, for your team to take advantage of. In the AFL you’ll rarely see a player give a handball before forcing the defender to commit to them, freeing up the receiver to take ground once they take possession but it...
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...
With 189 clips from 73 out of 99 games in season 8 of AFLW, here’s what I saw from an absolute belter of Grand Final. I don’t care what way you look at it, the better team always wins regardless of how many quarters they won on the scoreboard or whatever. Brisbane’s best (half of...
This training activity uses a delayed start meaning it will be a slow to medium paced play at most, and then encourages players to build up with precision at they can only score once they get into the scoring zone. There’s plenty of ways to utilise this so here’s the basic set up and then...
2 absolute cracker prelim finals over the weekend with a combined winning margin of a measly 5pts! We could very easily be looking at an Adelaide/Geelong GF but that’s how close the top end of AFLW is, even if the drop off from about 5th down is a quite dramatic but in the end the...
We continue on from the Crows total demolition of my up-and-coming Swans then move to the Melbourne/Geelong game. The Cats, list-wise, underperformed a touch in the home-and-away season, losing to Essendon and Collingwood and only beating 1 team in the 8 (Sydney) coupled with mostly unconvincing wins against lesser opponents. Forever it’s been the big...
After a late season charge, the Swans run out of juice Saturday night and like we always knew, showed the gaping hole between the top 4 (now the top 5!) and the rest of the AFLW. While still in only our 2nd season in existence, the loss of our ruck and main forward target hurts...
I did one of these a while back which are training activities I have in my files simply sitting there as I accumulate them quicker than I post them so here’s another 10 you can use on day 1 of pre-season! ROV OFF COACHES BAG 3 groups at each end with the middle player starting...
