Session Structure Overview

Rather than use a traditional training session structure, we have developed a mini/mod session structure for you. This structure incorporates three main activity types, these include:

• Closed Activities
• Open Activities
• Skill Biased Games

Using these activity types, the mini/mod training structure is:

1. Start with a Game: split your players into two teams and let them play a game against each other on a modified field. If you choose to make this tackle instead of tag, ensure you have taught the players to tackle safely and they bring any protective equipment, such as a mouthgaurd or headgear that they wear during games.
2. Closed Activity: implement a closed activity to allow players to practice a skill without to much external pressure
3. Open activity: this type of activity will allow the players to practice the skill in an environment with added pressures
4. Finish with a Skill Biased Game: These games are designed to highlight a particular skill in a game situation.
