It is encouraged that Collingwood All Stars Coaches are fully prepared for each training session and game.
Ideally your preparation includes a training plan that include what your objectives are, warm up and training drills to be run, time per drill, breaks and training conclusion.
To develop your team’s training plan, we suggest you firstly review the skills required by each age group section of this website.
Identify the drills that best suit developing this skill and factor time taken to introduce a new drill and to run it.
Drill Progression is taking a basic drill and developing it further. An example is taking a basic passing drill and then progress it into a slightly more advanced drill.
What components do you use in each session?
This is where you develop your own philosophy, to have some workout disciplines that you adhere to. Below is an example of a 1-2 player workout of about 1 hour and the components that may be covered. It would be impossible to cover everything at high quality so try to cover off 3-5 (most of the time there is overlap within these components) of the following components with examples:
- Basics – Shooting, passing, dribbling, footwork
- Defence – Closeouts, slides, rebounding
- Short – Shot Technique, Lay-ups and post moves
- Mid – Pull-ups, Floaters and Free Throws
- Long – 3’s (dependent on age and the players capabilities)
- Run and Shoot – cutting off screens, Transition
- Pick-and-roll play – Positional
- Competition – 1-on-1, 2-on-2 and shooting drill involving time, score and skill.
The Collingwood All Stars Coaching panel are available to help you develop a training plan for your team.
