Practice
Prepare. Execute. Improve.
A practice plan that survives contact with the pool: the sequence of the session, the drills inside it, and the board to teach each one from.
The shape of a practice.
Warm up
Get them moving, with the session’s theme already present.
Skill work
The individual technique the tactical piece will demand.
Tactical
The pattern itself, built and taught on the board first.
Scrimmage
Live play, with the coach watching for the thing that was taught.
