4. Ad-hoc Didactic Projects: Custom-created programs for specific needs.

Teaching-Learning Strategies

• Global Practice: Utilizing 3-on-3 drills to simulate competitive conditions.

• Analytic Practice: Breaking down tasks to master specific sub-skills.

Apprentice Capacities

• Socio-affective: Emotional and social development.
• Cognitive: Understanding rules and tactical application.
