School Hockey
hello everyone.i would like some advice on the following: I coach a mixed u19 and u16 team because i do not have enough players. players always have excuses for training so i can never practice set pieces. I have a strong backline, strong CL and CF but that is it.. none of my players play in a form, i have practiced 2vs1 and passing to a player and receiving again whilst going forward a hundred times... my u16s have very little knowledge of the game and skills. my u19s are more experience.
Hi Elrika,
If you are struggling to work on full team drills, set pieces or formations in training. You could do this work pre match. If you set aside 20 minutes before the game (this might mean getting your players to turn up a bit earlier) you should be able to run through either set pieces or team shape and formation so players are aware of their roles heading into the match.
