Hi Gary,

You might like to try our end of season session which contains lots of different drills which you could use to test your players' dribbling and passing skills:

Multi-Skills Session - Pass, Dribble, Turn and Pass

Alternatively (if you're feeling creative) you can also have a go at creating your very own lesson plan for your trials day, using the drills on Sportplan:

Dribbling, Passing and Receiving, Possession, Shooting are good skill areas you should be testing...

When you see a drill you like you can just click on the 'Add to Clipboard' button and continue browsing. Your drills will be stored on the Clipboard, on the right-hand side of the screen, until your ready to finalize your session.
Once you've collected all the drills you need for your session click on 'Print|Save|Share' in the right hand menu and add the finishing touches to your session (Watch the tutorial or read more in our User Guide)

Hope this helps and good luck for your trials day!
