The 3rd small sided game in this series is a game built around maintaining possession. To maintain possession the ball carrier needs to wait until a suitable option comes up and for a good portion of this game, it will just be a matter of “taking your 8 (secs)” and this should present itself. For...
This small sided game is one you would use to focus a on and encourage the use of width with your ball movement. If you’ve read my Sydney Swans game style content as well as the Collingwood ball movement post from yesterday, using width for both player and ball movement is the secret to opening...
The Pies are hot right now and after beating the Dees yesterday, have now entered the 8 and Jack Crisp gave some saucy info on their ball movement while being interviewed by On the Couch last night that I thought I’d clarify for those interested. Here’s the interview: https://aussierulestraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/video-1655180417.mp4 Crisp highlights 4 aspects in the...

Enter small sided games. We’ve touched on some of things you should be doing when running small...
So far in the last week we’ve looked at fishtanking, the ooda loop and player problem-solving in a move to get us coaches to develop more iron clad frameworks around what we do to ensure sustained player development and retention. Today we look at using the constraints led approach to player development which is pretty...
In my opinion, one of the biggest, if not the biggest thing missing from local/amateur football, are framework/loops. Last week I posted about the OODA Loop and how that can be used to up your coaching level and today we’ll look a player driven framework which would usually be developed with a coach around a...
Looking outside of your immediate sport, and even sport in general, can expose you to new ways to do things and earlier this week I looked at the concept of fishtanking, and once you start doing than you you now start moving in new, and better, directions for superior coaching ad player learning. The OODA...
