Junior Colour Coding Drills (Markers)

Colour Coding Drills ( Markers )

Let me reiterate that it is important for coaches not to fall into the trap of conducting a training session without markers (cones). Even at senior level, it is not good enough to use positions of the oval or signs on fences as starting points for drills.

Players must learn the importance of timing their leads and the only clear way to do this is with the use of markers. We use a rule that players must start one metre behind the markers to ensure that they keep the drill work spaces open.

Different colored markers make every ones job so much easier, not only explaining the drill, but also in modifying it when necessary. You may have a simple session where players are rolling and handballing to each group in single lanes.

Use different colored markers and have players in lanes of equal ability. Have tests, where players who have improved, progress to the next color and a more skilled group.
