4. Coaching and Focus Points

Coaching:

Ensure that physical exercises and ball control are performed correctly.
Pay attention to the pace of ball handling and precision when cutting and playing the ball.
Encourage communication between players and focus on technical refinement.

Points of attention:

Work in intervals of 3 minutes of effort and 3 minutes of rest.
During the rest period, players can stretch or perform simple ball exercises in pairs.
Adjust the pace and intensity of the exercise depending on the level of the players.
