PRINCIPLE Goal setting Warm up and cool down Homogeneity Practising every day the fundamentals The training session Principles (I) The coach should have a goal for every training session and plan the session according to the achievement of that goal. The coach should take time to prepare for each practice. Drills should be well planned and structured. It is very important to warm up physically and technically before the session start. This will help the player not only physically but also mentally. Besides, the players should go through a cool down routine just after the last drill of the session (i.e. a fun game, stretching, easy jog, etc.). The more similar the players are in ability, the easier it is to design good practices. The coach can use games and specific adapted scores to equalise the challenge to each member of the team during practice (optimal challenge) (differentiation). It is very important to introduce in each daily training session the five fundamental game situations: serve, return, baseline game, approach/volley and passing.
