Setup
Prepare the space, equipment, participant groups, and safety expectations before starting. Explain the purpose in one sentence and demonstrate the first repetition.
Run the Activity
Use short rounds, observe the key decision or movement, and offer one correction at a time. Increase challenge only when athletes can repeat the basic action with control. Build in water, recovery, and inclusive modifications for different ages or abilities.
Coach Review
After the session, record what worked, what needs changing, and the next progression. Keep private athlete information in the approved team system rather than in a public copy of this resource.
