Hi Jason,

At the moment, the drills are only available to view by category.

We try to cater for everyone`s needs, and the vast majority of the drills are suitable for beginner - intermediate level players, with quite a good range for more advanced players.

We felt it best to organise by category, for the benefit of planning sessions. Then if there is a generic theme to a session, all of the drills for that theme (e.g. defending) can all be found together.

If organising by age group/difficulty would be a more popular method, we may consider changing in future.

Hope this helps.
