Best way to train 30 girls ahead of trials and get everyone involved?
Training 30 Girls as a group before trials. What drills are best to get everyone involved. Take into account ages between 14 and 17.
Hi Glenn,
First things first we would recommend calling in some help! A mixed-ability group as large as this will be very difficult for you to move around while simultaneously organising and setting up the various practices. Are there any senior players or parents in your club who could help out, setting up practices while you move around the group assessing your girls' skill levels?
Regarding tips for running a large trials day I've trawled the site and found some links that might be of help:
- Question: How to run club trials day with U13s (using point system etc)?
- Question: I've just started coaching a large group of beginners. I've played for 12 years but have never coached. Where to start?
- Drills: Practices for Juniors (simple practices for small group work)
- Session: Pre-Season Squad Selection Session
Best of luck,
The Sportplan Team
