Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
Hi again Sportplan. I have recently been appointed the provincial head coach for the province i live in in Zimbabwe. I have been a selector for the u13 girls provincial side for three years prior to this. This is the first time i will be working with girls that i have not had the opportunity to build a raport with. My question (s) are as follows%3A 1)The Interprovincial Tournament is to be held on sand and astra turf fields this year. My girls will be at a destinct disadvantage living in the country we only play on grass fields. What would be the best way to prepare them for the fast, more predictable nature of turf play? 2)What would be the best way to gel the team quickly as it is made up of girls from many different schools? We only have two practise sessions available as a team before the tournament? Thanks, i hope you can give me a few more ideas to work with. Jason Zimbabwe
