I really struggle to make practice fun and useful for the GKs.

Any ideas how I can involve them more? Thanks, Charlie

I have been intrigued by some anecdotes of a coach using tennis balls in a session âthat did not pick up a stick for an hourâ. It developed hand brain and eye co-ordination and went on to give the feel of the movement of shoulders and hips for the Indian dribble, or at least moving a ball in a figure of 8â¦anyone heard of this or am I the victim of a wind up? It sounded great and a novel way to ring some changes in a junior session.
