A Practice Plan


Developing a Practice Plan


1. ANALYSIS

What are the strong and weak points of the team?
Which phase of training are we in?
How have we tried to improve weak points until now?
What area needs the most work to get the most improvement from the team?

2. OBJECTIVES

Decide what can we achieve in a single practice and plan it accordingly.
Decide which subject is important in the context of developments to date or with regard to the next opponent.

3. PLANNING YOUR PRACTICE

Which methodical aspects should be taken into account?
How should I spread the workload?
Which small sided games and practice drills should I choose?
Should I demonstrate a skill for the players to practice on their own time?

4. HAVING YOUR PRACTICE

Should specific drills or games be carried out longer or more intensively?
Should increasing levels of pressure be added to each drill?
Has the desired effect been achieved?  Repeat to achieve the desired effect.
Do the corrections and instructions bring the desired result?

5. EVALUATING YOUR PRACTICE 

Did everything go as planned?
Did the practice achieve it's goals?

Were the players motivated?
Did the players have fun?
Did the players learn anything?
What could have been done better?
What will I change for my next practice?
