Description

This practical workshop explores the concepts of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination and speed (the ABC's).

By the end of this workshop session coaches will be familiar with the fundamental concepts related to agility, balance, co-ordination and speed:

Agility - dynamic stability, starting and stopping, momentum, acceleration and rhythm
Balance - establishing a stable core, static stability, exploring the centre of gravity and base of support
Co-ordination - related to disassociating body parts and the co-ordination of explosive actions including jumping, throwing, striking and kicking

A prerequisite for this workshop is that coaches should have an understanding of the Long-term Athlete Development Model and associated player pathway within their sport.
