The Driving motive:

• Learning to love the game
• Playing the game

Objectives

• The focus of training is still on development. Players’ natural desire to win on the park should be fostered by the coaches but training should not be focussed on preparing a team to win but on developing the individual player.
• Slightly more emphasis on technical and tactical development as skill and game competence improves. (It is recommended that coaches retain a focus on core skills and tactical application in competitive environments).
• Progressively develop strength, power, speed and endurance through individual programmes.
• Encourage players to practice in their own time and set homework challenges.
