The document provides guidance for teachers and coaches on preparing for and conducting effective practice sessions with children. It recommends that coaches know the children, have clear aims and plans for sessions but also flexibility. It stresses progressively challenging children at a skill while ensuring repeated success. Coaches should keep activities short, provide concise praise and correction, and reward younger children with responsibilities. They should also communicate positively with parents. When multiple mentors are present, the document suggests dividing responsibilities like warmups, games, matches, and cooldowns among the coaches.
