Our Training Philosophy

FOUNDATION: Our Training philosophy comes from a 3 step plan with 2 types of training mixed together. We combine CLA with RBA(SEE BELOW). Within these types of training, we go in order by 1. Teaching 2. Repping 3. Applying. This allows us to not skip steps in the development process. Each player’s process is unique and different at all levels of the game. We cannot apply without repetition, we cannot rep without understanding what is taught, otherwise we will rep skill concepts the wrong way.

1. CLA: Constraint Led Approach: A training method that uses limitations to guide players toward problem-solving and adaptation instead of direct instruction. By setting rules, modifying the space, or altering the task, coaches create game-like scenarios that force players to self-organize and find their own effective movement solutions. 

2. RBA: Rep Based Approach: This approach comes from my 3-step plan… Teach, rep, then apply. This approach comes from a straightforward way of thinking-repping something over and over until we get it right! CLA cannot be applied in training without the right foundation of repping the basics. Also, repeated repetition of the basics is extremely important even if you are highly skilled in all areas of the game.
