I have a system where each player rotates through every position. With 8 players the progression is GS GA WA C OFF WD GD GK. I also printed out courts and coloured in where positions are allowed to go and have them in a display folder so girls can easily access them. This eases some of the chaos trying to put girls on the court as half of them love to be `big girls` and look up where their position is and not have to be told all the time. I often double check each girl is fine before we start

This is the rotation that I use for my eight-year-olds.
