It serves as a reference
when you get into the

your train of thought!).

Date and save each index

9. Plan for Success
Practice Preparation:
Key: When preparing practice sessions please be sure to
create activities that build upon each other.
It may be difficult to create all practice activities around
one topic when we see players one time per week.
Do the best you can to focus on one area to invest in the
development of our players.
