You must keep it simple.

November 11, 2019

Patience is a virtue. Remember, each player develops at their speed.
Every child might have a dif­fer­ent way of learn­ing. Make sure to teach in various ways.

Visual Learners

  • Learn through seeing.
  • Use cones that allow the play­ers to see the spots on the field.
  • Demonstrate a drill or skill to show players how to do it. 
  • This demonstration also earns trust, as your players won’t feel like you are asking them to perform a task that you wouldn’t do yourself. 

Auditory Learners

  • Learn through hearing.
  • Speak slowly and clearly while explaining concepts. 
  • Continual correction and encouragement while a player is working.

Kinesthetic/​Tactile Learners

  • Learn through mov­ing, touch­ing or doing.
  • Tell the play­ers where to go then do it.
  • Show the play­ers what to and have them mim­ic right after.
