How can I stop my under 11 girls from mucking around at training? I have sat them down to talk with them and they say yes yes and then bang stupid behaviour
the best way i find is to keep them busy not to much standing around time and threaten that those who muck around at training will be sitting on the side lines on Saturdays lol.
I have myself and another coach and we split the girls up. Goes well until the one girl mucks around again. She likes to take over and make up her drills. But on game day she is awesome. Why cant they train like they play.
I am coaching two teams, a year 6 and year 7 team. The potential for mucking around is huge! I have overcome this with the threat of making anyone who isn't concentrating on what's happening gets to run twice around the whole facility! We practice on a set of courts that is 3 x 3 (9 courts in total), no-ones had to run yet!!
with coaching always comes the headache of what the consequences can be without causinf too much disruption personally I have found that if one plays up then not only do they get punished the whole squad and then you will find their peers soon pull them into line i.e. all douing 20 pushups or all doing suicides.This theory has never failed me yet and it also makes everyone accountable
in more ways than one
Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
