- Decisions- Ownership

- Standards- Enjoyment

- Technique- AttackingThe Woodbury Way

When you get there• Session will be Play (until you have 8 players) – 11+ Warm-up (8

minutes) – Work (35 minutes) – Play (8 minutes) • Play - Once you have enough to play to groups of 3v3

you should get two games going• 11+ should only take about 8 minutes – on the

shoulder contact it should be as if players are giving each other high five with their shoulders then landing both feet and soft meaning that knees should give as players hit the ground to absorb impact

• Having trouble with particular players use names to address them

• Demo what you want!• BE specific with things you want – the more specific

you are the more the players get out of it

Activity 2 – 3v3 to Targets- Two teams and targets- Play short rounds- Teams play in one direction- 3v3 in middle will play hand ball- Score by throwing it or volleying it to

target who has to receive the ball out of the air without using their hands
