This session looks at developing your young players' knowledge of the game and positions through play to help them identify all seven positions and their respective working areas.
Learning through games will improve your team's knowledge of the game without them even realising and will lay the foundations for future development as players use the rules to their advantage and link this knowledge to basic tactics.
Come the end of this session your players should be able to tell where each player is allowed to work on the court as well as answering questions such as:
Who is responsible for scoring the goals and Which player starts the game?
