They are designed for two individuals, a child and parent or two siblings or two individuals from the same small bubble that is agreed upon by the families. This is a new time with new demands.
There are limitations of course to not being able to train with others.
– Cannot get the variability in training by using cones or without opposition (disruptors),
– Coaches cannot get as close to instruct or nurture as we were able to before the coronovirus.
These two player exercises allow a parent or caregiver to be with the player, or a sibling / guardian who can care directly for the child. These exercises also begin to offer disruption to the players and this disruption challenges their decision making.
