Hi Melanie, I tend to use dynamic moving drills for my 11-13yrs girls. Drills which enable to girls to catch the ball and then re-throw before re-grounding the first grounded foot. Shooting drills for all the girls not just the "best" shooters. Using a dot on the ground and getting 1 or 2 to defend the dot with one player at a time tries to touch it with their foot. Use game type drills which encourage movement. Cheers.
