Off season training

Hi all, At the end of this season we selected our rep teams in readiness for the next years competitions and to ensure that all girls had time to organise and commit to representative teams. We have played in a social league for a few weeks and will break for the Christmas period in two weeks time returning in mid February. I am keen to keep the girls active, and was wondering if anyone has documented an off season training plan as such. I would like to get the girls to concentrate on footwork , ( use of skipping rope) and fitness, as well as basic ball skills, but am not sure what expectations i should have with them ? They are all 14 yrs old. Thanks in advance Gary

Toss ups no more? Are they still part of the game?

At a recent game the opposition umpire said that we no longer do toss ups and rather rudely overruled my team's umpire. I have not been formally involved in umpiring for about 5 years and had not heard this - toss ups were still in the rule book when I did the online umpiring test earlier this year. Can anyone enlighten me?

Umpiring - how can I improve?

I'm starting out umpiring and find it so difficult. I know the rules and have no problem keeping up with play but find it hard to decide who fouled who or notice players going offside or all the other things all going on at once! When you're playing it seems obvious but from the side it's so much harder. Is it me and should I just accept it's not for me, or does it get easier? Any advice welcome.

Online club management packages - advice please

We're looking at creating a club website which would include a club management function - does anyone use them & could you summarise the pros & cons of the package you are using. We need easy communications to club members including fixture & training dates with a package that would easily summarise dates for each member depending on their team fixtures - would be great if would add to their phone calendar!

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
