12:15 – 12:25 | Arrival, Context & Expectations (10 min)

Coach Brief:

• Offensive principles:
  • Clear the lane
  • Make the effort
  • Keep the disc moving
• Defensive principles:
  • Own your matchup
  • Close easy lanes
  • Shift as a unit
• Side-line principles:
  • Be Supportive,
  • Choose someone, and help them, either with encouragement or direction. ("Take the IO", "Your match up is active")
• Explain observer roles.
  • Observers will be watching all of the session.
  • Don't be intimidated (a decision isn't going to be made based on a single mistake in the warm up)
  • Play the game, not the drill. (All drills are designed to be a smaller imitation of a game like scenario, if you don't play your part, no-one gains anything.)

Observer focus:

• Engagement - With Play style and drill set up.
• Communication - With other players, how are they communicating
• Composure - is their attitude consistent, can then keep calm.

Main Focus:

• Players moving the disc, anyone looking off an easy first pass for no reason gets a mark in the bad column.
