Group Management and Communication
0:00:02.740,0:00:05.710
Group management and communication skills
are
0:00:05.710,0:00:11.469
essential for all coaches.
0:00:11.469,0:00:12.860
Hi Loren
Hi Nat, how are you going?
0:00:12.860,0:00:15.769
Not too bad, am I right to use the
space at the back?
0:00:15.769,0:00:18.700
Yeah that’s fine, I’m just going to
be in this small area today so no problems.
0:00:18.700,0:00:20.840
COACH 1: All right thanks.
0:00:20.840,0:00:25.210
Being organised for a training session
is important. Coaches should arrive
0:00:25.210,0:00:30.410
early to set up. When sharing facilities
with others, make sure you cooperate
0:00:30.410,0:00:36.590
regarding use of space. When managing
a large group it’s a good idea to
0:00:36.590,0:00:39.020
recruit helpers to assist you.
0:00:39.020,0:00:40.810
Hi Elaine how are you?
Hi Nat how are you?
0:00:40.810,0:00:43.870
Not too bad, are you right to stick
around today?
0:00:43.870,0:00:46.610
Yeah not a problem.
That’d be good. Alright everyone we’ll
0:00:46.610,0:00:47.290
head over this way.
0:00:47.290,0:00:52.120
The coach should implement risk management
strategies such as keeping records of
0:00:52.120,0:00:56.530
who is at training, and checking that
players have the right gear, including
0:00:56.530,0:00:58.480
water bottles and safety equipment.
0:00:58.480,0:01:01.420
Tom have you got your water bottle?
No
0:01:01.420,0:01:05.750
Can you go get it for me?
Yes
0:01:05.750,0:01:10.390
The session should start as quickly as
possible. Using a fun warm up game is a
0:01:10.390,0:01:11.549
great way to begin.
0:01:11.549,0:01:16.979
Alright today we’re going to be playing
INTERCEPTOR but before we start that one,
0:01:16.979,0:01:21.700
we’re going to do a warm up game, so when
I call a number, you’re going to form a
0:01:21.700,0:01:24.840
group of that number so if I call 2, how
many in a group?
0:01:24.840,0:01:26.929
Two
If I call 3 how many in a group?
0:01:26.929,0:01:29.829
Three
When I call it, I’m going to blow the
0:01:29.829,0:01:36.829
whistle and we’re going to be ready to go.
Alright, are we right to start, okay lets
0:01:41.299,0:01:43.929
get going…..Two…..Four.
0:01:43.929,0:01:48.960
It’s important to use simple language
and provide a demonstration when explaining
0:01:48.960,0:01:49.819
an activity.
0:01:49.819,0:01:54.600
All right everyone, back in, come back in.
Elaine can you get the balls for me please?
0:01:54.600,0:01:59.020
The coach can check that the players understand
what to do through questioning.
0:01:59.020,0:02:05.579
So with INTERCEPTOR we’re in groups of three
and two people will pass the ball and our
0:02:05.579,0:02:08.869
interceptor has to try and steal the ball.
So we have how many people in a group?
0:02:08.869,0:02:11.190
Three
How many passes before we change the INTERCEPTOR?
0:02:11.190,0:02:16.600
Four
And how many balls per group?
0:02:16.600,0:02:19.760
One
One ball very good. All right Taylor and Sarah
0:02:19.760,0:02:21.890
can I get you to help me demonstrate? Taylor
can
0:02:21.890,0:02:24.470
I get you in middle? All right so, aim of
the
0:02:24.470,0:02:30.470
game is we’re going to try and get the ball.
While the players are practicing the activity,
0:02:30.470,0:02:35.310
the coach will move around to check on their
progress and provide individual feedback to
0:02:35.310,0:02:36.140
players.
You’ve got to move, move this way with me.
0:02:36.140,0:02:38.350
C’mon, that’s it good work, step a couple
of
0:02:38.350,0:02:45.350
steps. Excellent. Has ther e been five? Quick,
that’s it one, two, three, one more big
0:02:54.010,0:02:54.980
one.
0:02:54.980,0:02:59.540
Players can become bored with an activity
if it goes on for too long or it’s not
0:02:59.540,0:03:02.570
challenging enough, so be ready to change
it.
0:03:02.570,0:03:06.040
How are you going Josh?
I’m bored
0:03:06.040,0:03:08.320
What do you think we could do to make it a
bit harder.
0:03:08.320,0:03:12.760
I think we should have two interceptors.
Two interceptors, I think I like your
0:03:12.760,0:03:18.540
thinking. (blows whistle). Alright everyone
come in!!
0:03:18.540,0:03:23.400
At the end of the session, the coach can
combine cool down activities with a review
0:03:23.400,0:03:28.260
of what was learnt, and provide information
for the next training session or competition.
0:03:28.260,0:03:35.260
Alright everyone come in!! Stretch out,
we’ll do some stretches.
0:03:37.180,0:03:44.180
Arms up, in, and the other side. All
right what do you think we learnt from
0:03:45.120,0:03:49.670
todays training?
GRACE: We learnt to pass the ball without
0:03:49.670,0:03:53.090
it being intercepted.
COACH: Very good Grace. All right so game
0:03:53.090,0:04:00.090
on Saturday I need you to be there at 10am.
All right, good work everyone, nice work!!!
0:04:00.770,0:04:06.430
At the end of a session, if a player is
left waiting, the coach should ask another
0:04:06.430,0:04:09.960
person to wait with them also, until the
player’s pick-up arrives.
0:04:09.960,0:04:16.239
COACH: Reece, where’s your mum? Your not
sure. Elaine, can I get you to wait with
0:04:16.239,0:04:19.829
me, Reece’s mums not here.
ELAINE (to Reece): Oh your mum not here
0:04:19.829,0:04:26.829
yet Reece. Oh that’s fine.
COACH: I think we might give her a call.
0:04:27.189,0:04:32.879
Group management and communication skills
are important. These skills include:
0:04:32.879,0:04:38.370
organisation before the session, such as
setting up equipment, asking for helpers
0:04:38.370,0:04:42.669
and checking that the players are ready
to go.
0:04:42.669,0:04:46.629
Coaches need to get the session started
quickly with a fun warm-up.
0:04:46.629,0:04:51.669
Coaches should use clear communication,
including questioning, feedback and
0:04:51.669,0:04:57.080
responding to the players.
A session wrap-up is important to cool
0:04:57.080,0:05:00.499
down; review the session; and provide
information.
0:05:00.499,0:05:06.840
Effective group management and communication
skills can help make training sessions safe,
0:05:06.840,0:05:08.720
fun, and positive for all.
Group management and communication skills
are
0:00:05.710,0:00:11.469
essential for all coaches.
