Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
How do I prepare a potential first team and provincial level goalkeeper off season for next year's trials?
how do you get fit a month before trials start?
Does anyone have a really good process of running Hockey Trials? Not so much from a skills, agility and fitness perspective, but actually the day of the trials. Much Appreciated!
How can I get access to a "Session of the Week" that I missed? As our season in the southern hemisphere doesn't match yours, sometimes things don't appear in my email at the right time. I would really like to access the session on Pre-Season Selection Trials, as we will begin our trials in a month from now, but I can't seem to find an archive or any way to access that session.

I have a u/13 hockey team. Is there another way to have fair traiils with e.g. drills and a point system ather than just playing a game?
Training 30 Girls as a group before trials. What drills are best to get everyone involved. Take into account ages between 14 and 17.
Any suggestions for format of U13 girls hockey trials, expecting at least 50 girls and need to narrow down to 2 squads of 15 or 16 for A & B teams.
Do you have a checklist sheet for the week of tryouts for Varsity level?
Hi, I have trials for a state team in 4 weeks and i was just wondering some things i could do to get better.
I want to use a training circuit with various stations that's sole purpose is to test if their strengths lie in attacking or defending. Pre-season training before hockey trials.

EH have just launched their Golden Thread objectives for the single system (& above) - will some activities be created to reflect these? It is more gameplay & less directive / closed "drills". Cheers Alex.
in more ways than one

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey practice and being able to help tweak skills and getting the most out of my players!
Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change and learn new drills. Superb, simply superb.
Wow what a great website, I have found sportplan an important tool for me when planning my netball sessions with my netball team. There are alot of very helpful tips/ideas/skills that I can learn and teach to my team. Thank you sportplan I hope to continue to use your helpful tips and to learn more about improving my teams netball skills. Thanks again....keep it up....
I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
