About the Program
Planning a Curriculum of Skills - Bronwyn Jonathon Athletes’ skills should be developed through a sequential program. This could be done through individual, small group and/or team sessions. The curriculum of skills provides a framework for coaches to plan their weekly contact sessions and
ensures all components of the sport are addressed within the team environment.
Training Session Video Analysis & Review - Duncan MacGillivray Video analysis of training sessions and matches provides an opportunity to analyse the following aspects of performance: player work rate, tackle count, foul play, coach communication style and player communication. From a team or player performance perspective, all issues can be measured. Coaches and players can gauge levels of commitment and confidence while team cohesion, for example, may be gauged upon levels of discipline, motivation and punctuality. Getting the Most Out of Individual Sessions - Optimum Learning Environments - Tony Judd (Alice Springs) and Patrick Hunt (Darwin) During this session Tony will explain how he identifies the needs of the individuals in cricket and designs sessions and learning methods to reach the desired
outcomes for both the coach and the individual.

in the lead up to the 2013 National U18 hockey championships.
