Focus: developing game understanding alongside technical skills.
Players should develop
- Decision-making & game awareness
- Attack & defence principles
- Support play & continuity
- Communication
- Leadership
Coaches should
- Use game-based learning
- Ask questions rather than give answers
- Encourage players to recognise space
- Continue exposure to multiple positions
Key principle: teach players how to think, not just what to do.
