Sessions 1993Here are the sessions that I used with the Mens State Team in 1990.
Here are the sessions that I used with the Mens State Team in 1993.
This is the copy given to the players before training commenced.
Session Explanations 1. Pre Warm Up is where you are waiting for players to assemble on the park. Rather than let the keen ones stand around, I have some fun routines that get the players started. As the group gets bigger and the session time arrives you should have all the players doing a pre warm up routine. These should be light sessions but some are quite important for the following sessions. 2. The stretching (G191) is important and should be devised specifically for soccer. It should cover sitting and standing stretches of various muscle groups. If it is wet use standing stretches only. Note: In the following you should stretch only after a Warm Up (lap of the oval etc. - never stretch cold muscles). 3. The Warm Up is designed to get the core temperature up so that players are ready to start the Skill Developments or Match Practice. When a light sheen appears on a player's forehead you have core temperature. This is sometimes an introductory grid or routine for the session ahead. 4. The Skill Developments is a fitness/skills component with various soccer ball skills involved. In many instances it will provide a basis for the Match Practice by developing passing, dribbling, shooting, etc. skills that may follow in the Match Practice. It may however just be a drill that covers another aspect of the game or a fun skill's session.
Note: If coaching Juniors (under 11) you may only need to use the Skill Developments. The Match Practice in most instances is the advance part of the session. In many sessions the Skill Developments used can often be reversed to develop either attacking or defending skills. It will depend on what element of coaching you want to concentrate on as to how you use the drill. In many instances' players change places after each move and change from attacker to become the defender in the progress of the drill. I have found that this gives players a more encompassing view of the various aspects of each role. However you may wish to modify the Skill Developments so that only attackers attack and defenders defend, depending on how many players you have at training.5. The Match Routine is where we simulate the roles of players in game situations often in match play conditions or where more advanced techniques and skills are developed. Here is where we develop defending, attacking, set pieces, etc. In senior teams this component is very important especially for premier league standard. You should split defenders, midfield and attackers into specific roles. When I move onto Match Practices I often insist on defenders being separate from midfield players and from attacking players, so that those particular skills are sharpened in simulated game roles. I also use the Match Practice to develop my strategies for that particular team. Some of the Match Practice may be an extension of the Skill Developments and it is in these drills that you should concentrate on defenders v's attackers, etc. There are many grids and drills to choose from and you may find that one routine suits your particular team strategy better than another. You will need to select and mix grids from the appropriate folders and the following samples show you how I have put together my season. 6. The Game may reflect what we have been doing in our session. It is NEVER just a game! It is always conditioned and players should be developing skills in preparation for their normal league or cup fixtures. If you can get another person to supervise the game then this is YOUR opportunity to take out individuals for concentrated coaching. 7. The warm down is a very short segment but is very important. (G126 end) Is reduced stretching and a gradual cooling of the muscles using slow jogging and walking. It should be followed by a shower to relax the muscles completely.

INTRODUCTION
The time scale for team preparation for the night series is very restricted (six weeks would normally be required to get a team match fit). However once committed the team will develop through game participation and training, during the series, to full fitness and match preparedness. The team will gain teamwork and interactive skills that should bond a strong team framework.

Tour notes: we played two games in Singapore then travelled to Darwin for the Arafura Games arriving at 2 am with our first game at 9 am that day after registration and border controls in the hotel by 4:30 am, We left for first game at 8 am.
ARAFURA GAMES Darwin 1993
During this tournament we played in a shortened version of the National Australian Amateur Titles losing both games. But played against National Teams like Indonesia who were very strong, yet we played our best soccer losing by the odd goal, against Sarawak we were very unlucky to lose by last minute goal. But we won the remainder of our games beating Brunei by more than six goals to finish 3rd out of six teams.

International Friendly | Mindil Aces | Won 4:1 | Marley 2, Norrie, Kazmer |
Arafura Games | Finished 3rd | Last Arafura game we needed to win by 6 goals |
The Arafura Games proved a strong test for the team, having played so well against a strong Singapore U23 team we were rushed into the first Arafura game and playing two or three games in 10 days took it's toll on the squad. We managed 3rd place in the Arafura Games and I retired from WASSA State Team Coaching after this because I was also coaching the Women's State Team and felt my committments were too excessive whilst working full time. I was voted WA Coach of the year in 1993 a very proud moment and retired from coaching to concentrate on my teaching career.
