I'm trying to work out plans for the spring/summer lessons. This is the first year I'm taking the wheel on deciding what to do with pre -team. My head is swirling with lots we could do and I'm having a hard time pulling it all together.
This is an Xcel group that trains 6 hours a week of about a dozens kids, 2 coaches, sometimes 3.
First question I have is how many skills per event should I focus up training on? In my head as an example, on bars I'd like to get them doing kips, cast handstands, clear hip and fly always.
Also, Is four skills too many to focus on over the course of about 5 months on one event?
We have touched on all of these throughout the competition season but not been solely focusing on them. Some kids have some of these skills and some don't.
As long as I have been coaching, I'm new with actually being in charge of what a team does.
On top of new skills to work, our conditioning will be taking priority since the last coach that headed the group didn't have a solid conditioning and the other co-coaches have just followed suit.
We will also be adding more kids to the group that will be at all different levels. Right now the majority of the group are golds. Some silvers will be moving up to gold at the start of the summer and some golds will be brought up to the team girls.
How do you structure your summer workouts?
This may seem all over the place. That's how my head is right now. Any help on lesson plans for the given practice hours and time frame would be helpful. Thank you in advance. I'm tankful to have these forums to learn from.
