A good touch training, without the planning
Touch is fast and non-contact, which makes it a great first team sport. A beginner session should teach the rollball, passing on the run and getting back onside, then let them play.
The example below shows the shape of a beginner training. In the app, the activities come from Takoro’s touch coaching library, with set-up, coaching points and easier or harder versions for each one.
Example: a 60-minute touch training for beginners
| Part | Activity | Min | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm-up | Reaction chase in pairs | 10 | Speed off the mark |
| Skills | Passing on the run in lines | 10 | Handling |
| Skills | Rollball and restart: step over, place, go | 10 | The rollball |
| Skills | Defensive line: touch and retreat together | 10 | Getting onside |
| Game | Small-sided touch with six-touch count | 15 | Putting it together |
| Wrap-up | Water, stretch and recap | 5 | Recap |
60 minutes in total. An example of the shape only; Ask Takoro picks real activities from the library for your team.
