Coaching a team with players of mixed level of abilities can be an issue. However not this week because this session ensures that all your players can progress individually and work together as a team!
How? It's all in the session.
The first thing we do in this session is to get all your players warmed up together, promoting a good team ethos as players run, pass and communicate, working on their passing and receiving. Once everyone's ready we split your group in two. The main group will continue to work on their passing and receiving (on the move) while a smaller group of your players will be able to receive some 1 to 1 tuition with a junior coach to help bring their skills up to the same level as the rest of the group.
To bring things to a fun conclusion we then get all your players working together as a team, with a final conditioned game called Rugby Hockey - designed to get your players moving with the ball.
Try this mixed level session with your team today and give everyone the chance to improve their game!

The first weeks of the season decide whether a junior or new player sticks with adult hockey. Here is how to keep them safe, give them a clear job and build their confidence from the very first bully.
Most tackles are lost before the stick goes down. Teach your defenders to channel, wait and choose the right tackle, and you will win more ball and give away fewer cards.
England Hockey's rule guidance for 2026/27 takes effect from 1 September. Here are the changes that will actually alter how you coach, and how to brief your squad in one pre-season session.
