Content: Team-Building Techniques
Bad communication and poor strategy can cause your team to suffer on the field despite the outstanding performance of your individual athletes. Divide your team in half and simulate competitions that pit one half of the team against the other. Create your practice sessions around drills and exercises that emphasize team-building activities. To gain the most benefit out of this technique, break your team into specific groups -- such as offensive and defense -- and create drills and exercises that keep these individuals in a close proximity. Working together and learning when and how to depend on each others strengths is crucial for improving team performance. Aerobic Routines
Aerobic exercises are the quickest methods for improving the athletic performance of individual athletes. Regular aerobic exercises such as athletic drills and sports practice can greatly improve your stamina while improving the amount of activity you can maintain on the field. Maximize the aerobic activity level in your sports practice by having your team run five or more laps at the beginning and end of each practice session as you deliver instructions through a megaphone. Plyometrics
Jump training or plyometrics is a technique used by coaches to encourage explosiveness. Olympic athletes from eastern Europe started using plyometrics in the 1970s.
