Warm Up 20mins- A short jog (around 6-8 lengths of a court) followed by a few minutes
of active stretching (lunges, sumo squats, Supermans etc) is a good place to start.
It’s important to then incorporate at least five minutes of KNEE ACTIVATION EXERCISES,
which focus on balancing and safe landing and are aimed at preventing serious knee and
ankle injuries.
Then move into faster and more dynamic movements: high knees, bum flicks, fast feet,
changes of direction, high hops and sprints etc.

Physical Fitness 40 mins- While you don’t want to use up half of your 90-minute session
on fitness alone, it should be a part of your first training session, as well as your training
sessions in subsequent weeks.
Drills like ON/OFF INTERVAL SPRINTS and 30-SECOND SPRINT RECOVERY are quick and
easy to set up, don’t require a lot of instruction and will get your players working solidly
for 10-15 minutes
GAUGE THEIR SKILLS 20 MINS-
Unless you know all of your players from previous seasons, you’ll want to get an idea of
where each player’s basic skills are at.
Spend 10 minutes with players completing basic skills in pairs. Assess their techniques
for SHOULDER, CHEST, BOUNCE and OVERHEAD passes, and make corrections if need be.
Encourage the players to persist with those changes throughout the session, as they may
feel strange and uncomfortable at first.
Also look at each player’s basic driving, landing and catching techniques, using simple
pair drills like UP, AROUND AND OVER or a BASIC OUTSIDE PIVOT.

TEAM DRILL: 20 MINS


Choose any team ball drill that promotes quick, accurate passing and a variety of
movement.
For younger players, a simple drill like FOUR CORNERS is a good starting point, while for
older or more advanced players, drills like OVER AND OUT or a quick game of BALL
TAG are a good place to start.
Also encourage players to learn each other’s names and call them out to begin to open
up that communication.
ONE-ON-ONE DEFENCE: 20 MINS
Defending an opponent in a tight one-on-one should be the foundation on which a
player’s defensive skills are built, and it’s critical to get the basics right early on.
Start simple – without balls – and work on players’ footwork and body angles to begin to
develop an awareness of how they can restrict their opponent’s space. As players
progress, encourage a little bit of physicality, using their body to block their opponent.
Our drills for DEFENSIVE SHADOWING, DEFENSIVE BLOCKING, DEFENSIVE BLOCKING IN
FRONT STANCE and DEFENDING BOTH WAYS are good starting points. You can never do
too much work on the basics!

MATCHPLAY: 20 MINS
Finish your session with some half-court matchplay, to allow your players to practice
and develop the skills they’ve learned in a game situation, and start to develop some on-
court chemistry together.
Allocate five minutes for the attacking players to possess the ball with centre passes,
and five minutes for the defenders to possess the ball with defensive throw-ins, as well
as a good transition drill like QUICK REACTION INTO TRANSITION, to practice
transitioning the ball from different positions/situations. Encourage your players to
have a go at setting up the structures you’ve practiced, and focus in particular on their
one-on-one defence – sticking tight on their opponent and denying them the best spaces
to drive into.
WARM DOWN: 20 MINS
Never forget to warm down properly and stretch!
After your players grab a drink, ask them to go for a quick jog, a slow skip and a walk,
and then have a stretch while you go over the key points from the session. Ensure you
reiterate those points before the first game and evaluate them again with the players in
your post-game chat.

Good luck for your first session!
