This has absolutely nothing to do with entertaining the players in order to have them return week after week.

That would mean they will then look forward to the activities for the wrong reason and this would defeat the purpose completely.

Take a moment and ask yourself if the players have to enjoy training sessions?  They certainly have to look forward to start off with, don't they?

The answer is really simple...  Teach them to take responsibility from a young age through implementing the following steps:

1. Offer coaching of a high standard that is effective and efficient as well as FUN and dynamic.

2. Manage players effectively from a young age in order to avoid injuries and burn out.

3. Guide players towards achieving their goals in order to aid in developing a sustainable game.

4. Consult payers in your decision making in order to address their individual needs.
