Five Step Planning Model

Step	Description	Overview
1	Pre-Analysis	Prior to the commencement of training, each team manager will be sent a link to complete an initial team analysis form. This information is used by the trainer to get a better understanding of the teams needs and demands prior to the start of the program.
2	Development Plan	Based on the content of the analysis form and the outcomes of the first session, the trainer creates an on-line training plan for the duration of the season. The plan relates to the four pillars of the game: (1) technical training, (2) tactical training, (3) physical training and (4) psychological training. The plan also details the amount of time that will be spent in each area. Training plans are posted to the team on-line account.
3	Individual Session Plans	Building on from the development plan, an individual session plan is created by the trainer for each session delivered. The individual session plan is linked to the seasonal development plan and provides a breakdown of the session content. At the start of each session the trainer will provide the parent coach with a carbon copy of the session plan.
4	Game Analysis	Throughout the season, the trainer attends games to evaluate how the team is performing in game situations. Following attendance at each game the trainer will post a report to the parent coach’s on-line account.
5	End-of-Season Report	At the end of the training program, the trainer completes an on-line end of season report that reviews the positives and challenges from the past season as well as the recommended next steps in the team’s development.
