Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
Alot of my development players have hinted that they are scared when going for a ball at goal with a keeper present, is there anyone who can advise of a way to build confidence in this area? Thank you Jacqui
I coach a team of U18 Boys. The team consists of the typical skill level variations but we manage that by modifying the formation to support those that need support. The team has performed well and they are on the top of the ladder. We are half way through the season and there seems to be more individualism in the team than I would have liked. Some of our more skilled players are failing to utilise the entire team which has a negative impact on the game plan. What strategies do you suggest we engage to bring the team together for the run to the finals?
Anybody any ideas on a conditioned game to encourage receiving the ball in a forward facing position?
in more ways than one
A few weeks into the league season, poor first touches are costing teams the ball. Coach body shape, scanning and receiving on the move to keep possession.
Pre-season fitness fades fast once the league starts. Build conditioning into ball work and use rolling subs well to keep your squad sharp all season.
The first weeks of the season decide whether a junior or new player sticks with adult hockey. Here is how to keep them safe, give them a clear job and build their confidence from the very first bully.
Coaches from around the world look to Sportplan for coaching confidence.
