Identify skills
I want to use a training circuit with various stations that's sole purpose is to test if their strengths lie in attacking or defending. Pre-season training before hockey trials.
Hi Charlene, for a pre-season training circuit focusing on assessing players' strengths in attacking or defending, you can consider using a session plan like "Pre-Season Selection Session - Pick your strongest starting XI". This session provides a series of tests challenging players' basic skills, fitness, agility, and tactical thinking, which is ideal for deciding on team placements.
Additionally, you might find the "Training Stations: Improving 2v1 and Scoring Success" session useful. It focuses on improving possession and decision-making in attacking situations, which can help identify players with strong attacking instincts.
For defensive skills, consider drills like "Channelling onto the forehand" and "Defending 3 v 2" from the drill library, which emphasize defensive positioning and marking.
These resources should provide a comprehensive assessment of your players' attacking and defending capabilities. Let me know if you need more information or specific drills!
