Varied Practices • This is used best for open skills and involves repeating a skill in varying situations. • For example shooting practice in football, where the coach may set up drills and alter the starting position and involvement of defenders. • This helps to develop game play as it replicates game situations. This is a varied practice as the passing can be affected by the players in the middle of the area. This replicates a game scenario. 1) 2) 3) There are 2 areas 20 m apart Each player will pass the ball across the area to the other player alternating between their strong and weak foot. The players will have to focus on gaining height on the ball when kicking it to ensure the players in the middle do not intercept it. Create a fixed practice for the sport you are writing about
