Classroom Session – Santa Maria Clinic

[Justin Boatman]

Is this session posted somewhere here?

[Ryan Wagner]

The link was sent in an e-mail.  You can search the site with the word “clinic” and it will show up.  Maybe Gary will post a link in the near future.

I enjoyed the two sessions as well and am looking forward to the new videos.  As always, great stuff!!

[Andrew Liles]

I also enjoyed the new classroom sessions. It was hard to see the video being shown to the coaches- I would like to see the positional rondo (6 v 6 with 3 neutrals) in its own video, or even a diagram to make sure I understand the set-up. Thanks!

[Kevin Gagnon]

Yeah, you couldn’t see the video and aside from seeing the positional rondo activity, I think everything else I was able to figure out by Brian and Gary talking. However I would like to see a diagram of the activity as well. My only question is what happens when the ball gets played to the 9 at the end of the sequence (does he go score a goal, or is he just played to for a point like a target player?), and then also where are the 3 neutral players? Are all three inside the grid with the other 12?

Hi guys,

Thank you for the feedback!

The link can now be seen in the “Classroom Sessions” area of the main members page.

And for sure we will be processing the hard-to-see videos and making them available here!

Sorry it wasn’t visible in the classroom … we’re still learning. We bought what we thought was a nice projector, but it’s got its shortcomings and this was definitely one of them. 🙁

Working on the field session footage for this clinic … and will be finished and available this coming week.

Gary and Brian,

Great idea to post this classroom session.  It gave me some more good insight to what I have been studying and teaching my team. My team has received a steady diet of 3Four3 activities but I am definitely guilty of mixing in other material which I see now is just preventing them from really learning this curriculum …that’s going to stop.  As mentioned above, I’m looking forward to seeing the  positional possession game and the 5 v 5 v 5 game. Thanks again, your work has made me a better coach which has translated directly to my player’s development.

[Gary]

Thank you Chad.

And yes, the #1 pitfall of almost every coach is trying and mixing all kinds of things. Trying to do too much is what destroys process.

For sure, coaches that make this mistake will not be ‘successful’.

[Gary]

Ok guys,

The 6v6 + 3 Positional Rondo is now live. You can find the link in the members home page.

Please keep in mind that while you can totally try it, and even integrate it with your teams, I consider it an advanced activity (we’ll be adding more of that type of material).

Meaning, I urge everyone that the core framework comes first. This is something to be layered in.

[Ryan Wagner]

Hey Gary,

Just a heads up that the link works on the home page, but nothing is there for the 6v6+3.  Thanks

 

[Gary]

Thank you Ryan,

It should be all good now.

[Amalia Crocker]

I am trying to find the video/link for the 6v6+3 rondo where exactly is it?

[Christian McAuley]

It’s on the members  page under:

Supplemental & Advanced Activities

6v6 + 3 Positional Rondo

 

 

[Amalia Crocker]

thnx Christian I clicked it on but I guess maybe being a new member I am not privy to the  Supplemental & Advanced Activities It doesnt show up on my Members page.

[Michael]

@Amailia – I am in the same boat.  The link takes me to a title page… but no video  🙁

[Gary]

Hi Amalia, Michael.

Yes, the coaching program has supplemental & advanced activities.

But those are dripped (become available) over time.
