This article will offer ways that Coaches can structure their team practices based on their players' needs.
Here are 2 suggestions for structuring your practices:
1. Academy ➡️ Game Play:
Ensure all players have a Chromebook or device connected to the internet. Players will complete either an assigned Academy pathway on their level. After the Coach confirms that they have completed their Academy work, they can move on to Game Play time.
2. Split Academy ➕ Game Play:
If your players need the Academy content read to them, have other accommodations, or you are limited on Chromebooks for players to use, you can split the team into 2 groups. Group 1 will work with the Coach to complete their Academy pathway on their level, while Group 2 practices Game Play. Halfway through practice, the groups switch so that Group 2 can complete their Academy work, while Group 1 practices Game Play.
Coaches can also split their team up by their assigned Academy level. Rotate players between Academy learning and practice Game Play.
