Hi. New to the site. I am a fully paying member. I was wondering if anybody can tell me how to download the animations from the Sportsplan website? I want to download them to my tablet (similar to ipad) and show the team at training how the drill/skill etc is to be done. However, don't have internet access on tablet, so can't access drills online, and need to save it to tablet to show them. Can anybody help? Any suggestions?

I really have a big problem with my u/15 girls.  They just can't play as a team. Any advice please. There's always a fight between someone. Mariette

Hi, I have looked at these 2 videos that are included in plans. How can I save the video's onto my Laptop so i can play them to the team during practise? Ta Tony See Adding to the Pass: Receiving and passing on the Moveand Passing out of Defence to Forward runners (sessions of the week).

what 15 minute session could i plan for a first touch informing the next move drill?

we started the season 5-1 and now mid-way it seems we are fading? we have lost our last 3 games - what are some good drills to get them focused again and pumped for the rest of the season and to get them over the hump -to the next level. thanks

Hi all,I've got my level 2 assessment coming up on Sunday and I just wanted to quickly check whether there's a 'recommended' structure to the session plan.Btw, this is a level 2 practical assessment and is with juniors (U14s).One coach has suggested a 3 part approach:1) techniques and skills required2) unopposed 3) opposedThe theme I'm choosing, which is a bit of a generic one, is defending in a channel (as I'm a defender and it's pretty straight forward).I'm not really looking for info on what exactly to include (i.e. theme specific) but rather general structure or whether E.H. have an approved structure to sessions?My session's on Sunday, so a quick reply would be awesome.Thanks,Gary

I have been given my first team ever!! They are 11 year old girls and I wanted guide/ recommendation on how I should structure my one hour sessions? E.g. how long should I spend on a warm up, drill etc. .Cheers,Freya

I want our team to make our team and hopefully get promoted, however in my opinion player personalities are holding us back such disliking position and certain players wanting to do things that other players are better at.

Im new to female hockey coaching and was just wondering if there is any recommendations someone can give me as to getting setup with a new team for the first night of training, what to look out for etc.

I'm new to coaching and i'm coaching a team that barely knows how to even hold a stick properly. Where can i start with improving there skills and hockey kowledge ?

Hello! We are looking for good drills for our new U14 team evaluation practices. We will have three practices of evaluations before team placements and want to make sure we measure conditioning, stick skills, field sense, shooting, position knowledge, etc. Any drills you may have could you send them my way, I would greatly appreciate it! - Kelly, Maximum Velocity Field Hockey Club Director

How do you think for the first menu after lock down? We were given a chance of training tomorrow ,but most of us had not done any exercises for lockdown. So I want you to give us advices of first menu.

I've created a session to which teh first section I want to reuse on other plans but at present it does not allow me to make a duplicate even when clicking on Duplicate.

Hi,I perhaps naively, expected to have most of our team from last year carry over and only have a few new comers to integrate and get up to speed with the rest. However meeting the team at our first practice last night i find I have five players still at school from last year and the rest all new comers, most of whom had not held a hockey stick at all till practice.This being only my second season coaching (year 9 to year 13 boys) has left me feeling a little blindsided, and feeling quite unsure how to prepare practices that target both groups of boys. Do i lump them both groups together, keep them separate? What drills/exercises to best bring the new comers up to speed.I don't want to neglect either group, keep practice worthwhile for the experienced boys, but also bringing the new comers up to a level were they can mix in with the others and learn organically from them while practicing as a team.
