Hello! We are looking for good drills for our new U14 team evaluation practices. We will have three practices of evaluations before team placements and want to make sure we measure conditioning, stick skills, field sense, shooting, position knowledge, etc. Any drills you may have could you send them my way, I would greatly appreciate it! - Kelly, Maximum Velocity Field Hockey Club Director
Hi Kelly,
We`ve got a great session for evaluating players ability before deciding what teams they should be assigned too. Players will be put through their paces, as you test their sprint speed, distance running and those all important stick skills - getting players to dribble at speed and through a cone slalom! I hope this helps!

Matt, thank you so much. This is great! We had our first evaluation session Tuesday, but will have 2 more before we announce team placements, so this will be very helpful!
