The ADP AFL Technical Squad provides student-athletes with an opportunity to develop and refine the technical and tactical skills required to perform effectively in Australian Football. Sessions focus on individual skill acquisition, including kicking, handball, marking, ball movement, evasion, contested skills and defensive techniques, while progressively introducing greater decision-making and game-like pressure.

Training is designed around the athlete’s stage of development and individual needs, with coaches using modified games and realistic scenarios to help athletes transfer technical skills into competition. Particular emphasis is placed on developing adaptable players who can read the game, make effective decisions and execute skills under pressure, while building the foundations required for long-term progression within the sport.

Training involves but is not limited to: 

• Fundamental technique and skills development 
• Video analysis of running and kicking

• Game sense and tactical awareness
