Description

You are probably aware that KNOWING HOW TO APPROACH this age is crucial for creating training practice for the youngest age. If you START SMART from the very beginning, you will save time and energy and in the future will only pick up goodies and smile while applauding your players. At this age, it’s all about playing, kids don’t need to know that they’re learning new skills and concepts of the game, you are teaching them to adopt first moves and laws of the game so it becomes an automatism. After that, you are ready for the next level. What actually means to START SMART?

HOW IT WORKS?

I  Yearly training program is divided into three semesters with an emphasis on developing technique as it’s the main objective.
II The weekly sessions have two to three objectives that are compatible with each other and intersect between them, covering technique, physical phase, and tactical game understanding.
III During three weekly training sessions, objectives can be covered separately in each session, or divided during each session into the warm-up and progressed to the main part.
IV After a period of time, objectives are repeating allowing a player to experience all aspects of the game, correct and practice, and finally master the skill to eventually become an automatic movement used intelligently in perfect time and space.
