How should a women team,that cannot use the scoup or an overhead,do when the oposit uses a full press at a 16yd hit??Thank you...

what drill will help look up not at the ball

I am doing A level PE and I need to find a coaching plan that includes a number of drills that get progressively harder. The plan has to be game based, I was thinking of doing one on possession but I cannot find drills that link together and get harder. Please help, Thanks

The teams currently in our league all seem to have vastly different playing styles. It's obviously not possible to fully coach strategies for each of these teams, but i was wondering if people had any tips about how you can tweak your team tactics without moving too far away from the default mentality e.g playing against a team with a particularly strong centre half?

Hi all- I am 37 years old. I played field hockey for 3 years only (in high school). As you can imagine, I'm not very good/experienced. I was a competitive soccer player which made me good enough athletically to play field hockey but anyway, the point is: I never played field hockey at a high level.I now find myself in a head coaching position. (Long story-I did coach some field hockey some years ago and had a blast but it was a while back). Anyway, I have three assistant coaches who aren't much more experienced than I am. Our high school program is VERY weak and so nobody really steps up to coach there.Basically, my question is: what do I do? I have some girls who have played but not much. Then I have girls who literally don't know how to hold their stick and are quite I athletic. We barely have enough girls to field a team. As for drills, I'm trying to use this site but if you were in my position, what specifically would you be doing with these girls so they don't lose 7-0 every game? Right now, I'm focusing on body control and comfort with the ball- (we are playing possession and they are so uncomfortable they just hit the ball away because they don't have the skills to hold). Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!Brooke Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Is anyone else's Sportplan really buggy and full of errors?For example, drills or plans you've created randomly disappearing (often requiring a log out and log in to find them again), things disappearing all over the screen, things simply not saving, or buttons such as save not working at random intervals? I'm getting so frustrated with paying for something that is constantly breaking. Is it just me or anyone else experiencing this?

In field hockey, how do you hit a tomahawk flat and accurately?

Do you have a checklist sheet for the week of tryouts for Varsity level?

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.

How should a warm up be done for a mixed age hockey team? I play for Tamworth ladies hockey club and generally do the warm ups and sometimes the training session and was looking for ways to get everyone warmed up.

I am coaching u10 BOYS this year for the first time, have only worked with u7-u9's, as I have it there are now 8 players per side. How do I determine which players to play in which positions and what format do I play? Do we have to play with a dedicated goalie or just backs? At this age do I pick the 8 most talented players and slot them in positions or do I pick players according to positions? Hope this makes sense...

What fun warm ups can I use with a group of 7-11 year olds with and without hockey sticks? Many thanks xx
