Teaching the Skills

Teaching Objectives

1. Proper technique

2. Speed of thought

3. Speed of action

Plan the Session

• Start and finish time

• Know what you want to teach

• Have equipment ready

• Create variety Include a skill from each category Vary drills - line, triangle, circle, square, diagonal

• Include fun or conditioned games

Suggested Coaching Session

1. Warm up – with ball

2. Stretching

3. Skill revision

4. Demonstrate a new skill

5. Practise skill unopposed

6. Practise under pressure

7. Drills to emphasise skill

8. Conditioned game

9. Small sided game

10. Cool down

Teaching a New Skill

• Describe – key points, how skill is used in a match

• Demonstrate - normal speed →slow motion →normal speed

• Practise with drill – keep it simple and easy • Positive feedback – give encouragement

• Fun game – opportunity to experiment with skill

• Homework – practise at home

Teaching Skills to Young Children

• Step by step

• Remember - the first step onto a ladder is the ground

• Remember - Feet, Hands, Head

• Left and Right side

• Unopposed →Under Pressure →Token opposition →Opposition

• Increase the Pressure – against the clock (stopwatch)

Seek improvement - not perfection

Speed of Thought and Action

Challenge players to step out of their comfort zone:

• Impose time limits

• Give targets and goals – most in a minute etc

• Reduce space

• Introduce opposition

• Promote automatic reactions by reducing time to react

Be Ready for Action

• Stay alert

• On balls of feet

• Ready to pounce

• Core stability – tight midriff

• Head up and eyes scanning

• Controlled breathing

Principles of Attack

• Keep your eye on the ball

• When possession is won, move into space and release ball quickly

• If in support, create space and options for the player in possession

• When possession is lost, close down opposition immediately

Principles of Defence

• Stay alert – concentrate on the game and be aware where your opponent is

• Be ready to attack the loose ball

• If your opponent gets possession – close him down immediately

• Be decisive when tackling

• When possession is won, counter attack quickly

Examples of Fun Games

Grab the donkey’s tail

Turn the cone over

Over, Under, Sideways

Grid transfer

Magpies (steal the eggs)

Hit the target

Mini All Ireland

Last man standing

Clear the circle

“Musical chairs”

“Tennis”

Into the fence

Gladiators

Relay race

Tips for Conditioned Games • Keep games short and appropriate to age (young children have loads of energy but little stamina and tire easily)

• Concentrate on the skill you are teaching

• Allocate general positions i.e. goal, forward, back

• Rotate positions

• Young children tend to flock – small flocks are easier to handle:

2 x (4 v 4) may be better than 1 x (8 v 8)

• Introduce competition – Mini All Ireland

Drills and Fun Games

Warm Up – Shuttle Runs

Carry ball and place on lineDouble back to original line

Run forward – lift ball and place on next line

Catching shuttle – toss and catch ball at each line

Finish

Warm Up Relay Races - Maintaining Possession

(1) On whistle players dribble ball around a coloured cone and back to start.

(2) On whistle players run, lift ball and solo around a coloured cone. Return to start, dropping ball en route for next player to lift etc.

Coach calls out colours. Winners are first team back to base.

Promotes speed of thought and decision making.

Pick ball from one cone. Transfer to next cone. Use non dominant hand. 4 steps between cones. Repeat in opposite direction Balls must not be dropped, but placed on top of cones.

Promotes player to reach down low by bending his back and knees.

Gaining / Releasing Possession and Positional Drills

(1) Shuttle runs Work the man in the middle(2) Goal to goal

Pass and move 90 degree Turns Diagonals (lift-carry-drop / strike and catch / hand pass)

Possession and Positional Drills

Piggy in the middle Work the middle man

Run, catch, move and pass Star Drill Criss Cross Shuttle

Evasion skills (maintaining possession)

Hustle and Bustle (2) Players solo from red cone around a green cone, through a central zone before passing the ball to a player at the next red cone.Start with two balls at opposite red cones, introduce four balls when a rhythm is established.Clockwise and anticlockwise

Hustle and Bustle (1) Two teams, four sliotars. Players run through central zone and pass ball to team mate at opposite cone. Central Zone - players from same team evade each other, players from opposing teams check and shoulder each other. Degree of physicality determined according to age

Fun Games: (1) releasing possession (striking) (2) maintaining possession (dribble, solo)

Skittles - hit the target

Relay race Players take turns to dribble or solo a sliotar from one grid to the next. First team to clear one grid and fill the next grid wins.

Magpies (steal the eggs) 4 teams of 4 – each have a “nest” with 4 sliotars. On whistle, players run to opponents’ nests and “steal” a sliotar by dribbling or soloing back to their own nest. Players are not allowed to guard their nest and can only steal one sliotar at a time Winners are team with most sliotars in their nest after one minute

Fun Games: gaining and releasing possession

Clear the Circle Teams of two to three players.Each team takes turns in the centre (1 – 2 minutes).Players at cones feed balls into centre.Team in centre keep circle clear by striking balls out.

Team that finishes with the least number of balls win.

“Rounders”Two teams of five or more players.Players pass ball to team mate and move into his position as shown.Blues go clockwise, yellows go anticlockwise.Winners are team who’s last man to start is first to return to the start position.

Fun Games: gaining possession (lifting)

Most in a Minute Multiple players and multiple sliotars.Each player lifts a sliotar, drops it and moves on.The same sliotar cannot be lifted twice in a row.Winner is the player who lifts most sliotars in a minute, or who improves the most over two turns

Musical ChairsSet up: x players, (x-1) sliotars.Sliotars scattered randomly in circle. On whistle players run into circle and lift a sliotar. The player without a sliotar steps out.Remove one sliotar and repeat. Continue until only one sliotar and two players are left. Winner is the player who picks up the last sliotar.

Stopping and Striking Fun Game - “Tennis”10m

Players at green cones strike and attempt to score into opposite goal. Players in red goals stop and control the ball and hand pass to player at adjacent green cone. Players sprint to follow ball and take up new position. Alternate between striking from left and right hand. Short stroke across, full stroke lengthwise. Clockwise and anticlockwise. Introduce two sliotars for increased pressure. Layout can be easily rearranged for a fun game of “tennis

Gaining and releasing possession (strike, lift, catch, hand pass)

56P1 strikes low ball on RHS to P2.

P2 lifts ball and hand passes to P3.

P3 strikes ball on RHS for P4 to catch.

P4 catches and strikes low ball on LHS to P5.

P5 lifts ball and hand passes to P6.

P6 strikes ball on LHS for P1 to catch.

Players at red cones strike on RHS, those at green cones strike on LHS.

Players releasing possession sprint and follow ball to the next cone.

Once a rhythm is established introduce a second sliotar to increase pressure

Promotes left and right sided striking, ball control and stamina.

Fun Games: (1) Maintaining and Contesting possession (protect and flick)

(2) Evasion skills (side step, roll off, feint)

roll off

side step

Possess and Dispossess All players enter the circle, each player has a sliotar. Players dribble their sliotars around circle. On whistle, players try to flick other players’ sliotars out of the circle while protecting their own. Any player whose sliotar is flicked out must leave the circle.

Winner is last player with a sliotar in the circle.

Gladiators (evasion skills)Player 1 (attacker) tries to get through the gauntlet as quickly as possible. Defenders block his path. Defenders must stay between cones

Contesting Possession (Blocking and Hooking)

Blocking(1) Keeper passes to team mate (attacker). Attacker lifts ball, turns and strikes.

(2) Defender attempts to block.

Hooking(1) Keeper passes to team mate (attacker). Attacker lifts ball, goes past defender and attempts to score.

(2) Defender attempts to hook

Note - defenders allow attackers to get ball, providing token opposition only until attacker attempts to strike.

Fun Game: Contesting Possession (attack the ball)

One on One

Around the cones and attack the ball

Fun Game: Contesting Possession (attack the ball)

One on One Ball placed in centre. On whistle, a player from each team runs to the green cones, cuts back and attacks the ball. The first player to reach the ball attempts to score, the second player defends.

Two on TwoBall placed in centre.On whistle 2 players from each team run to the green cones, cut back and attack the ball.The team that gets to ball first attacks, second team defends.

Objective – to promote teamwork in attack and defence

Striking and Clashing

Striking – “Stay Alert” Coach rolls coloured balls, red or blue, at random. Each player in turn attacks the ball and strikes it on the ground. Red ball to red goal, blue ball to blue goal.

1. Ball rolled away from player to chase.

2. Players cross to other side and repeat with ball rolled towards player to attack.

“Clash of the Ash”Coach rolls ball to centre: Two players contest ball. Blues attempt to score in red goals, yellows in blue goals.
