Stage 3: Play

Stage 3: Play

This final play session gives your players a chance to plug in the ideas you focused on in the Practice stage. 

Remember: it often takes a few days for these ideas to really permeate your player's thought processes and several more rounds of play before they make their way into your player's actions on the field.

  • For 6U/8U divisions, this final stage can be the 6:45-7:15 game during each meet.
  • Divide your players into 2 balanced teams, bonus if these teams don't resemble the ones from the first Practice stage.
  • Once again, keep your interruptions to a minimum.
  • Finish up the practice by gathering your players and providing some closing remarks, team cheer, etc.
