36. TOOL BOX OF COACHING APPROACHES DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE INDIVIDUALS DEVELOPMENTAL EXPERIENCE SLANTY LINE THEORY GUIDED DISCOVERY SMALL SIDED GAMES

37. DifferentiationSLANTY LINE THEORY STRAIGHT-LINE APPROACH High-water / Low-watergame- the rope starts on the ground and everyone jumps over it...Then two children raise the rope to a new level. As children are unable to jump over the rope they are ELIMINATED until only one person is left... The problem: It ELIMINATES those who need the activity the most

38. DifferentiationSLANTY LINE THEORY SLANTY LINE Mosstontakes the same rope and SLANTS IT. Now… • Each child can participate at THEIR OWN ABILITY LEVEL • Each child is CHALLENGED Children will not continue activities in which they are continually eliminated or wait to take turns. Given opportunities, children seek out challenges and take risks.

39. GUIDED DISCOVERY • Method that uses effective age appropriate questioning • Allows players to discover THEIR game • Allows players to problem solve -active learning • Empowers players to make decisions and take risks “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand’ - Confucius

40. Examples of u6 & u8 Questions • What should you do to see where your teammates are? • What part of the foot do you use to make a short pass? • Where should you aim when shooting on goal? EXAMPLES OF U10 & U12 QUESTIONS • How can we get the ball down the field quickly? • What happens when you pass the ball behind your teammate? THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS! MAY NEED TO REPHRASE THE QUESTION
