 Episode notes 
Begin With Simplified Open-Play
- Start collective coordination with simplified, unopposed tasks to expose core principles of play.
 - Progress quickly to pressured, opposed practice once players grasp spatial and ball-direction information.
 
Representation Is Context Dependent
- Representative design depends on context and learner stage rather than always maximising fidelity.
 - Keep information relevant to the current learning goal and scale other constraints (ball, hoop, court) appropriately.
 
Teach Principles Before Plays
- Teach principles of play (width, depth, create/maintain space) as foundational objectives before prescribing solutions.
 - Use single-player work to practise those principles by simulating teammate and ball movement cues.
