Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
who chooses team captain ?
How do I get my girls to show more consistency at the beginning of a game? The longer the game goes the better they get.
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.

how can I make practises such as the indian dribble and running with the ball using the correct grip more entertaining for junior players?
I am coaching an u16A team and recently got them using a 3/4 press which is working well to turn over ball. however their counter attack from this situation is poor - does anyone know any drills or game situation drills to improve on this. thanks
What fun warm ups can I use with a group of 7-11 year olds with and without hockey sticks? Many thanks xx
