Streamlining feedback within game-like exercises during training can optimize players’ learning on the field. Tama Miyashiro and Erin Virtue, former assistant coaches for the U.S. Women’s National Team, guide coaches through a practice planning process – Plan, Do, Review – and how to build feedback into every step. In this video, Miyashiro and Virtue focus on the ‘Do’ part, demonstrating how to provide feedback during 6v6 training on the field. 0:00 — Translating feedback into 6v6 play 0:40 — Practice design: ‘back and forth’ drill (two portions in each direction) 1:20 — Establishing shared focus: initial contact, rolls and signals 2:10 — Emphasis on rotation 1: setter entry, stop and face 3:00 — Technical versus tactical focus (maintaining one clear priority) 4:10 — Coaching with limited staff: dividing eyes and Responsibilities 5:00 — Communication plan: call routes, confirmation, eye contact 6:00 — Rally cues: holding, thinking, and reading in transition 7:30 — Natural pauses for quick, specific feedback 8:30 — Team huddles and debriefs: one win, one improvement 10:00 — Guidance vs. Live Sixes: remote coaching and “catch them doing the right thing” 11:30 — Player ownership: fair post-session check-ins and self-assessments #USAV #PracticeDesign #SixOnSix #Feedback #Communication
