Not only does this offer a beautiful parallel to the emergence of mini-games within the larger context of 11v11 football, it’s also opened my eyes to a board game I never knew existed.

U19 SOMERSET SCHOOLS CHAMPIONS 🏆.@nailseaschool @PriorityAcademy . Hard-fought & earned. What a special journey it’s been with this talented group.

Definitely giving this a try at our next session. Looks wicked👇🏼.

Didn’t know there were so many different interpretations of a volley or half-volley ~ what seems obvious or widely known to one person might be completely unknown to someone else 🤔.

Totally understand the sentiment behind this but I’d argue that both problems would be solved by simply adopting a similar ‘clock’ to futsal; where it stops whenever the ball is out of play or there is an interruption, so as to ensure ‘playing time’ is actually spent playing.

@nailseaschool @nailsea_pe.

In addition to essential qualities, students we asked to consider what constitutes 'best practice' for a performance coach; discussing what's essential vs. desirable criteria. We've talked about the 'age', 'stage' and 'pro/am' status of coach as being key influencers too.

Today, in our BTEC Sport class we've been thinking about what qualities are 'essential' for a performance coach. Students have contributed to this and started creating their own posters for Unit 8: Coaching for Performance.

Game Intensity Index (GII). Given the FA’s revamp of youth game formats, I think it’s worthwhile reminding ourselves of a simple equation we can use to adjust the size & ‘intensity’ of the training game we design. GII = Pitch Area / no. of outfield players. @SundayShare10

Not enough credit being given to @Darwinn99 for his contribution to this goal. The guys gets so much grief if he misses a chance but no plaudits for these centre forward qualities. Challenges well in the air against the defender, picks up the second ball, composed pass 🤌🏼.

Worked a treat. Students enjoyed the game and asked to continue playing it. Beautiful way to highlight affordances for tilting, yo-yoing and playing in close proximity to one another. Thank you.

I’m excited about trying this game tomorrow with sixth form students. It lends itself beautifully to our language of play; specifically the intent of getting around the ball like a campfire 🔥 . @SundayShare10 #SundayShare.
