This practical workshop explores the concepts of Agility, Balance and Co-ordination and speed (the ABC's). This workshop assists coaches to observe, analyse and coach good movement patterns within their sessions whether multi skill or sport specific. By the end of this workshop session coaches will be familiar with the fundamental concepts related to agility, balance, co-ordination and speed:

• Agility - dynamic stability, starting and stopping, momentum, acceleration and rhythm

• Balance - establishing a stable core, static stability, exploring the centre of gravity and base of support

• Co-ordination - related to disassociating body parts and the co-ordination of explosive actions including jumping, throwing, striking and kicking

A prerequisite for this workshop is that coaches should have an understanding of the Long-term Athlete Development Model.

Depending on the feedback from coaches, there may be some follow-up sessions exploring each of the ABC’s in more detail and exploring some of the advanced concepts; however, attendance at this first workshop would be necessary.
