Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
Hello all, I would like to have some reflection on following please%3A As a coach of a 8 team of juniors age 9-10 years old i tend to rotated the positions of players every other game.The reasons for this is that I believe it helps them understand the importance and difficulties from each separate position in the field and so creating a better understanding of the game. Furthermore it gives a positive influence on their learning curve from a technical point of few. Of course I am taking care that everyone stays happy in playing hockey. What are your opinions?
Is there some basic info (DVD, video or manuals) that outline basic positional play and roles for new players to the game. I have entered a school team (15-16 yr old girls) into a weekend comp. They are coming up against strong club teams who have been playing for several years. It has been difficult getting them to maintain some structure in their play - possession is a big problem. Also, hitting the ball is an issue - a skill that I have taken for granted as it has never been a problem with all the boys teams I have coached (even 7 amp; 8 yr olds) Any advice greatly appreciated.
Giving my age away there, but we are a rapidly growing club with an influx of Junior players threatening to overwhelm us. Can anyone give me advice as to how many children can be safely accommodated on a full sized hockey pitch? We hope to have a coach to player ratio average of 1%3A10, lower for younger age groups.

What is the best way to position teams for 8 a side hockey?
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
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...
I'm doing an expo project on hockey goalkeepers and I want to know if there is a need for a basic training guide for beginers eg. goalies for dummies
