ROLE OF THE COACH
• Make the sessions fun!
• It is important that we don’t push our players too hard and cause an increased risk of injury.
• Training will be different for many players due to ‘physical distancing’ so consider this
before you organise a session.
• Physical intensity should start low and increase gradually. . • Hand shakes, high fives and group celebrations are not allowed.
• Please avoid using your hands at any stage during the activity. • Spitting is not allowed.
• Heading is not allowed. • Although ‘physical fitness’ is something that may have decreased during this break, we
should still keep our main focus on technical and tactical development.
