Motor skills development- spatial awareness and catching.
I am using a block of Autumn training as a motor skill development with endurance training period.
I am using tennis ball drills: catching, dribbling, turning, evasion and throwing for one set of development.
The other set is using the 4 limbs to perform different tasks whilst standing and then moving in different directions.
Most of the athletes can do 2 different things simultaneously, but not many 3.
Throwing 2 tennis balls up, turning 360 degrees and catching both is quite a challenge.
Standing on one leg, with one arm punching, one arm circling and the other foot drawing an imaginary triangle is also tricky.
This combination seems to work as both a warm up and preparation for new skill acquisition. It is also fun (not to be underestimated).
This type of work is what I am doing now with the Excelsior Athletic Development Club
