About the program
Adapt your game
It's the middle of winter – the grind is real, it's cold, it's tough, and your season may be testing both your character, and your work ethic.
At the Mid-Year Mastery footy program, we will turn our attention to being adaptable and learning to solve problems. We will cover both attacking and defending areas to ensure you come out on top, areas including:
- Getting out of trouble.
- Using an outnumber.
- Denying the opposition.
- Getting the footy back.
We want players to embrace the grind, and build momentum in their season. Impact both sides of the ball and take your game to the next level.
Session Schedule
Players will rotate through various stations which cover different areas and moments of the game. Players will also have the opportunity to showcase their talent during full Aussie rules game-play!
Session Structure
Q1 - Q2 - Q3 - Q4
The four-quarters session structure is how we educate athletes and allow for progressive training in Aussie rules football.
This structure empowers players to efficiently transfer from simple to more complex skills or strategies during a training session, with the intent to enhance game sense and skill development.
FUNDAMENTAL
Individual
Quarter One [Q1] focuses on individual activities, which enhance the speed and accuracy of players’ skill levels. Skill is broken down into the key fundamentals of the game, such as kicking, handballing and ball-handling.
SPECIALIST
Collective
Quarter Two [Q2] focuses on collective activities, which will assist players to progress their ability to problem solve. Activities will reflect the challenges players combat during a game, while allowing players to positively impact their team.
SKILLS
Team-Tasks
Quarter Three [Q3] focuses on team-tasks activities, which will accelerate players’ problem solving by challenging them to work through a range of game situations, so they can see them more clearly when in the heat of battle.
GAME
Game activities
Quarter Four [Q4] focuses on game activities, which brings all the four quarters of the program together, encouraging players to simply play the game. Including both small-sided and full games, with altered rules, which emphasise specific strategies and skills of the game.
