A 10-minute session test
Check the learning before you add another activity.
Run these three questions over tomorrow’s plan. If an answer is unclear, simplify the session before adding more instruction.
- 01
What decision are players practicing?
State the match problem in one sentence. If the plan mainly describes equipment, movement patterns, or the coach’s instructions, the intended learning may still be hidden.
- 02
Does the activity preserve information?
Look for direction, teammates, opponents, space, timing, transition, and a consequence. Keep the parts players must actually perceive in a match.
- 03
How will you know it improved?
Choose one observable behavior and one short question. Give players enough uninterrupted repetitions to test an answer before stopping the activity.
