Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.

Are there any screen formations set up on sportplan for Hockey? I am after a basic outline for the different screens you can run for 16yd hits, free hits, side line hits etc. Thanks
I notice the screen is hard for a weaker teams backs to get the ball through. What are some methods of defeating the screen for juniors? The Olympics dont seem to use screens, they seem to instead retreat first to fill holes in the middle? while the team with the ball does back and around in front of their goal for a while before sending it down the wing. Would the umpire notice if you put one of your players amongst their screen to provide a path past that player to another player deeper? Your player in the screen blocking the path of the defender from getting a stick to the passing ball. Is it just that senior players are able to do effective lateral cross turf hits, so the screen is unrealistically player intensive, leaving holes in the middle risky? Whereas entirely logical to use a screen against a weak team?

To John Royce: Formations Hey John just wondered your thoughts have taken over ane A1 Womens Side was trying to think a bit outside the box thought of trying a 1-1-3-4-2 formation or 1-1-3-3-3. had any success or heartache with either. Have varying degrees of age in this team which make it a little for younger ones to comprehend. Regards Ian Manhire Newtown A1 Womens Coach

I have drawn animated plans for penalty corners but cannot view in full screen/slideshow for saved files in folders - is there a way I can show as full screen to the team?
the opposition is now playing with 1 goalie, 2 d, 4 mid and 4 forwards it just seems they are everywhere and my mid field can not deal with the extra player. I was going to counter with a 1-4-4-2 but the girls are not used to it. we play a 1-4-3-3.

Is anyone else's Sportplan really buggy and full of errors?For example, drills or plans you've created randomly disappearing (often requiring a log out and log in to find them again), things disappearing all over the screen, things simply not saving, or buttons such as save not working at random intervals? I'm getting so frustrated with paying for something that is constantly breaking. Is it just me or anyone else experiencing this?
I have heard coaches refer to "screening" runs. My understanding is that they involve a player running across the line of a pass i.e from centre to right wing - creating what in effect is a dummy run...is this correct?
