Coaches should be identifying the below criteria in the session and breaking it down using the pillars of the game making sure you're ticking all boxes.

 Please feels free to adjust the physical elements of the game to create a dynamic and Fun environment for the player  

Below are some suggestions of what to consider when catering the sessions for your groups

Technical: what attribute or team concept you are asking the players to learn & How it's taught & performed breaking it down for the players

Tactical: Who the positions or player that it relates to, Where & When to use the attribute or team concept, this could be a moment or relate to a third of the field/area, or a visual or audio trigger. Why we use this attribute or team concept. this should emphasize the decision-making process & reason behind the choices to answer questions the game asks of the player

The player MVP system:

This is a staple of the program and one we use to set competition from the start of the session to the finish between each individual
The way the system works every player has 5 MVP points to start, Players can win more points by applying themselves to eacha ctivity with full commitment trying their hardest to progress, and being awarded points by the coach
Players can also win points during each activity by scoring the most points for that activity and for that they will pick up 2 MVP points from the coach.
We also use the point system to reinforce good standards like staying in bounds, not bumping into other players, and good behavior. the player can lose their points when these standards are not met. Try to use it as a motivator, not a punishment.
Once the players get used to this system they will become more responsible for their own development
