Field Hockey: australia

I am trying to get full access to sportplan but when I click on subscribe there is no dollar amounts and I am unable to fully subscribe, can you help me, I am from Australia.

Ask a question and have it answered by Coaches from around the world and Sportplan's team of Experts.

is there any skill that can help me attack my opponent?

How long is a Level 1 Coaching Certificate valid for??

Any sessions for junior keepers would be appreciated. I started keeping at 40 and though I know the things I hated in training ... ie let us all come and kill the keeper, I need help putting together a session or two specifically geared at our under 13 keepers, and an extremely talented under 15 one.

information on 1442 and 11333 systems. I am fairly new to sportplan so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I am from Australia so know the GK-2-3-5 set up well. I would like to possibly employ a GK-4-4-2 / GK -1-3-4-2 set up or a GK-1-3-3-3. What I need is information on How players are set up, Forward press set ups, defencive zone set ups and attacking methods. For a bonus it would be great to know how they set up against a GK-2-3-5 as most of our oposition teams play this or a gk-2-3-3-2 Cheers 

As of 1 September, major FIH events such as the Champions Trophy, Hockey World League Final and Rio 2016 Olympic Games will assume a new format that includes moving to four 15-minute quarters and having 40-second time-outs when a penalty corner is awarded and after a goal is scored. Do you think this a positive or negative for the future of hockey?

Fellow Coaches.In you opinion, why do you think the England Ladies have been knocked out of the World Cup?My own view is that many of the players look mentally tired...What do you think?

Hi All,Just looking for a simple way to counteract teams playing with 2 Centre Halfs. Have had my Centre Forward try to mark the 2nd Centre Half with limited success I'm not sure if it is there Centre Mid who is playing in the position or one of the Insides as they seem to diengage when they go into attack. Any help appreciated.RegardsIan Manhire

I just became the head coach of a middle school field hockey team and would like some pointers on how to coach. I have experience with goal keeping and defensive drills, I was a keeper, so I would like to learn more about offense as well. Any help is appreciated!!

Hi,I perhaps naively, expected to have most of our team from last year carry over and only have a few new comers to integrate and get up to speed with the rest. However meeting the team at our first practice last night i find I have five players still at school from last year and the rest all new comers, most of whom had not held a hockey stick at all till practice.This being only my second season coaching (year 9 to year 13 boys) has left me feeling a little blindsided, and feeling quite unsure how to prepare practices that target both groups of boys. Do i lump them both groups together, keep them separate? What drills/exercises to best bring the new comers up to speed.I don't want to neglect either group, keep practice worthwhile for the experienced boys, but also bringing the new comers up to a level were they can mix in with the others and learn organically from them while practicing as a team.
