‘Me and my toy’ phase

During this phase we focus on the child’s coordination and thus technique. We have a ball per child during the session and from there get as creative as possible focusing on learning coordination whilst having fun.

 

Team aspects during this phase are not trained by sharing toys/balls, but by playing the same games together while each one having their own toy/ball. 

Transition phase from ‘me and my toy’ to playing together or against an opponent.

 

During this phase we focus on training coordination and technique while having fun.

 

Teamplay gets introduced during this phase, though more emphasis is put on each player still playing with their own ball, but facing an opponent in some activities. 

Team play introduction phase.

 

During this phase players continue to develop technique while also staying to learn how to play as a team or in a team against another team. 

 

We also focus on leadership and sportsmanship skills starting to be developed.

 

Physical conditioning is done through ball play allowing players to develop strength, speed, balance and agility while playing with the ball and having fun. 

Early tactical development phase. 

 

 

During this phase players continue to develop technique while tactical and decision making becomes a key focus point. Character development always remain at the core as well in order to develop sportsmanship and leadership skills. 

 

Physical development remains similar to the previous phase, just increasing the intensity of it while playing with the ball and having fun.
