• Training to compete (17-21/23)
• Training to win (18/19 )
• Active Life
• PHV peak height velocity

3
Fundamentals (6-8/9)characteristics

• Games, relays, contests, circuit (stations)
• Activity adapted/age level
• Have FUN, pleasure, enjoy playing/sport other
  non related activities
• Introduce global skills modified activity,
  lead-up games learning
• Competition Mini V.B.
• Develop ABCs (agility balance coordination
  speed etc.)

4
Learning to train (8/9-12)
Objectives training tasks (PHV females)

• Introduce and Develop basic skills
• Acquiring elementary practical tactical
  knowledge team sports formations and
  tactical combinations
• Introduce decision making / athletes
• Further develop agility, balance, coordination,
  speed
• Introduce strength training (use own body
  weight) medecine ball, obstacle courses,
  games, etc.) aiming to optimize motor
  development
• Introduce fundamental psychological qualities
• Relative training importance High Imp.

Measuring and interpreting PHV(How to PHV)

• Diurnal and seasonal variations
• Age 9 or 10 measure it every 3 month (Malina)
• Always in the morning after the rest day
• Reliable measurements
• After the on-set of PHV measure it every week or
  every second week
• At every birthday mark the growth in cm, how many
  centimetre is the growth from last birthday
• Measure athlete standing, sitting down straight
  and, arm extended horizontally

Trainability

• Based on chronological age
• Skill
• Speed
• Suppleness
• Based on developmental age
• Stamina
• Strength
• Biological markers
• onset of PHV
• PHV
• onset of menarche

Training to train (12-16/17) Objectives
training tasks (PHV males)

• Consolidate/stabilize basic skills
• Learning variants or new skills
• Develop decision making / athletes
• Develop practical tactical knowledge related to
  volume of training, performance level and
  conditioning (attack,
  defense, transition)
• Introduce weight training harmonious and
  complete GENERAL physical development
• Develop fundamental psychological qualities
• Introduce optimal psychological performance
  state
• Introduce seasonal planning
• Relative training importance High Imp.

• If you want to teach latin to Ariane, you have to
  know latin and you have to know Ariane
• If you want to teach volleyball to Ariane, you
  have to know volleyball and you have to know
  Ariane
• We know volleyball well BUT we do not know Ariane
  from age 8-9 to 16-17 PERIOD!!!

11
Training to compete (17 -21/23) (specialization)
Objectives Tasks

• Refine repertoire of techniques
  individualisation, proficiency, variability,
  consistency
• Ind. Tact. develop rapid read and react
  (decision making) motor response variation /
  situation
• Team. Tact. speed, cooperation, synchronization
  
• Off season develop energy sources and muscular
  qualities considered foundations to the sport
• Preparatory period develop specific physical
  qualities related to the sport
• Develop Optimal psychological performance state
  
• Introduce Annual planning (integrating the 5
  Ss)
• Relative training importance High Imp.
  Moderate

12
Training to win High Performance (18/19 )
Objectives training tasks

• Prepare athletes for one or more peak
  performance(s)
• Combined and adapted methods to the GOAL pursued
• Integrate sport science experts
• Utilize double or multiple periodization
  (integrating the 10Ss)
• Monitor athletes response to training stimuli
  and induced fatigue
• Tapering procedures adapted to the athlete
• Learning to win mental attitude

13
10 Ss influencing performance

• Skill (technical tactical decision making)
• Speed
• Suppleness
• Stamina
• Strength
• Structure / Stature
• Sychology
• Sustenance
• Schooling
• Socio-Cultural

• Habiletés (techniques tactiques/str.
  décisions)
• Vitesse
• Souplesse
• Enance
• Force
• Mesures anthropométriques
• Psychologie
• Nutrition
• Études
• Aspect socioculturel

14
TRAINING COMPONENTS/TASKStechniques
tactics/strategy

• Basic skills
• Variants Basic skills
• Advance skills
• Team Tactical practical know how (System,
  Formations, Combinations)
• Individual tactical practical know how
• Game plan

15
TRAINING EMPHASIS (focus)

• Proper execution (skill OR assignment)
• Success rate (outcome of the action)
• Decision making / athlete
• Motor response variation/analogous situations
• Cooperation, timing, speed of execution /
  athletes
• System of associative solutions
• Self control, will power, concentration, stress
  management, etc.

16
Sequencing Training objectives

• When do we introduce / acquire / learn / develop
  a training component or task at what age and
  performance level ?
• When do we consolidate / stabilize age and
  performance level ?
• When do we improve / refine / maintain age and
  performance level

17
Training objectives TE. TA/Str. definition of
terms

• Introduce (acquire, learn)
  Present to the athletes a
  new element (skill OR tactical component) in
  stable and easy conditions. Global acquisition of
  the required task. Key emphasis comprehension of
  what I have to do as an athlete proper
  execution of the assignment
  Characteristics sub-maximal speed
  Requirements state of readiness
  concentration

18
Training objectives TE. TA/Str. definition of
terms

• Develop
  To pursue the learning process in
  controlled conditions without opponents OR with
  the complicity of opponents Key emphasis
  success rate (end result), objective 7/10
  Characteristics block of repetitions of
  the assignment as determined by the coach. The
  drill is isolated from competition reality. Speed
  is ? (gradually)
  Requirements state of readiness,
  concentration ball flight assessment

19
Training objectives TE. TA/Str. definition of
terms

• Consolidate to stabilize the element (TE. or
  TA/Str.) in controlled conditions by the coach,
  or semi-controlled conditions, or random
  conditions. This framework requires opponents
  opposition/confrontation.
• Key emphasis decision making by the player /
  situation high success rate
• Characteristics optimal speed of execution
• Requirements light moderate state of fatigue /
  athletes.

20
Training objectives TE. TA/Str. definition of
terms

• Refine/maintain techniques OR tactics/str.
  repertoire to polish, improve the elements in
  controlled conditions or semi- controlled
  conditions or random conditions. Key emphasis
  decision making/athlete as related to the
  situation or success rate (end result) or motor
  response variation / analogous situations.
  Characteristics approximative or absolute
  competition / game like conditions linked with
  optimal speed of execution.
• Requirements system of associative solutions
  (refers to competitive experience memory),
  occasionally introduce a mental stress

21
TRAINING CONDITIONS

• CONTROLLED BY THE COACH
• Stable, predictable, foreseeable environment
• Without opponents OR with opponents complicity
• Block learning of the task / assignment
• Techniques to be implemented OR tactical/str.
  notions to be carried out are determined by the
  coach
• No decision making by the athlete
• No options of motor response

22
TRAINING CONDITIONS

• SEMI-CONTROLLED
• The operational framework (environment OR
  sequence of play) is determined by the coach
• Variable problems to solve, requires different
  actions to be taken
• Involves decision making by the athlete
  (options / choices)
• Implies opponents opposition/confrontation
• Block learning of the task / assignment
• Speed of execution is raised gradually to reach
  optimal speed

23
TRAINING CONDITIONS

• RANDOM
  
• Variable, changeable, unpredictable environnement
• Part OR complete team VS opponents / rally
• Techniques to be implemented OR tactical notions
  to be carried out are determined by the athletes
• Absolute OR approximate game like conditions
  confrontation by opponent(s)
• Optimal speed of execution

24
LEARNING BASIC SKILLSKey principles

• Player actively involved/activity
• Vol. high number of reps, sub-max. intensity
• Success rate 70
• Player exposed to several successive demstr.
  (create a mental image of what to do)
• Player concentrates on one technical element
  while executing the global skill
• Limit to 4 or 5 key elements/learning stage
• Learn Te. under the Tactics umbrella
• Conditions BLOCK of reps/same training task

25
CONSOLIDATING SKILLSKey principles

• ? intensity leading to competition requirements
  (speed, effort)
• Introduce transition mvt. other skill (basic
  skills sequence)
• Introduce precision and consistency (result of
  the action) e.g. success rate
• Work in a light to moderate state of fatigue
  (e.g. competition)
• Conditions controlled by the coach (BLOCK of
  reps/same training task)
• V and AT/RT related to training effect sought

26
DEVEL TACT. INTELLIGENCE Key principles

• Player seeks progressive autonomy on the court
• Player spends less effort to successfully
  complete the training task
• Gradual control over uncertainty
• ? rapid and relevant read proper motor
  response/situation
• Adequate problem solving/situation with varied
  motor response
• Conditions controlled by the coach or random
  situation

27
INTEGRATE PLAYERS/SYSTEMKey principles

• Pratical knowledge related to the level of play
  conditioning of the athletes
• Integrating player in the relational network
• Develop a system of associative solutions
  (relates to players MEMORY)
• Establish match-ups with our opponents (game
  plan) with individual assignments
• Key emphasis speed of execution,
  synchronization, cooperation between players
• Conditions controlled or random
