Focus on Tackling

At last nights training the U11's and U12's ran through a great tackling drill. Here's another video looking at the art of tackling -

Remember that training is on Friday night at 4:30pm (bring your mouth guards!) and our first game is at Worri Yallock on this Sunday 12th April ([UPDATED] U11's be at ground at 8:15 and U12's 11:30).

Focus on Handballing

We've spent a lot of time on handball skills during our last few training sessions for U11's. Some of the things the coaching team is looking to develop are - 1. Improved skills -
This builds accuracy and player confidence. If you have 4 minutes give this video a look for some great tips for better handballs -

2. Handing off with speed -
If you are under pressure don't take too long to dispose of the ball, Aussie Rules is a fast sport, be fast! This greatly helps avoiding tackles before you get a chance to deliver the ball to a team mate. If you have no target consider handballing to empty space in front of you, avoid the tackle and regain the ball in front of your opponent.
3. Make yourself a target -
If you don't have the ball do your best to make yourself a good target for your ball carrying team mate. Get away from opposition players but within range of a handball. If there is an opposition player between you and the ball-carrier move quickly to create a clear space for the ball to come to you. Remember your team mate needs your help, they can't do it on their own no matter how good they are. Try to be where you can help the most and spread out from your other team mates, this gives your team lots of options.
