As the sun is setting on the season don't let standards slip! This Sportplan session has been created so that your players can measure themselves against each other and to see how far they've progressed over the course of this season!
Each player will be given a label (see below) which they can attach to their stick. On this label you can write down all their times taken to complete the various different, speed, stamina and skill tests.
If you can why not get the parents involved too? They can help you with timing players and writing their scores - you could even maybe finish with a parents vs children race or game!
