Hello all, I would like to have some reflection on following please%3A As a coach of a 8 team of juniors age 9-10 years old i tend to rotated the positions of players every other game.The reasons for this is that I believe it helps them understand the importance and difficulties from each separate position in the field and so creating a better understanding of the game. Furthermore it gives a positive influence on their learning curve from a technical point of few. Of course I am taking care that everyone stays happy in playing hockey. What are your opinions?

Hi Im new to coaching hockey want to know what position do I play some of my weaker players without them losing interest and there confidence.
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.
