Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
Do you have any plans to offer a Club membership whereby a Club could take out a subscription that would allow access to all its coaches?
The new rules - what will UK coaches be focussing on most? (Living in NZ, we're playing them now!)
Jon, so many International Hockey Coaches now have 'earphones' during their matches - who is on the other end amp; what info is the Coach exchanging? Thx.
...where it will list and describe playing terminology such as shave, tackle-back, steal, forehand.
EH have just launched their Golden Thread objectives for the single system (& above) - will some activities be created to reflect these? It is more gameplay & less directive / closed "drills". Cheers Alex.
I have created lots of plays, sketches and animations etc and I have them in a folder and I would like other coaches I work with to be able to access them. How can I share folders
Morning Team. We from South Africa and we have developed a coaching program for grades 1 to grade 12. These programs were developed to assist our coaches and teachers in how to train the grades they were involved in.I have one question: We are moving to download our paper based training into the Sportplan format as it gives us a way of presenting our product to the coaches and teachers but the question I would like to know is; can we sell the coaching plans through your website?Many thanksIan
I am currently undertaking an EPQ (extended project question) psychology in hockey with my title being 'How does psychology impact the progress of a hockey player at different levels?' To help collect information in order to write this essay I have created a survey which is aimed at hockey coaches of all different levels. It would be great if some coaches could fill this out to help me with my EPQ. The link is below if you would like to fill it out, and the survey only takes between 5 and 10 minutes. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/BHDDJKC
I'm currently coaching a team of 18 year old girls.(Field Hockey) Some players don't show up for practice or when they do, they aren't motivated to give their best. Despite my tiring efforts to try and motivate them as a good AND bad guy. I am out of ways to punish and/or motivate the girls. What do you coaches do to keep your team committed? And when they aren't, what are your ways of handling the situation?
how do you share your plan with your coaching team
I am looking to add an assistant coach to my team. Will they be able to assist with creating coaching plans with this access, or do they have to have their own membership? We are trying to keep all of our videos and practice plans in a centralized profile, so it would be helpful if they coudl create from my profile as a team member.

We are in desperate need of more coaches for our high school program. Where can we look/post the job?
Can we have 1 membership per club so all coaches can access it on mulitple devices or will we have to have separate accounts?
Hi all, after "volunteering" at the last minute to coach last season, I'm looking forward to coaching again this season but would like to be a bit more organised starting the season. Last season I used drills from here (thank you contributors) and put together a practice plan each week addressing what I thought were our weakness from the game just played. This got us through the season, we were promoted after grading and finished the season in the top 4 playoffs for our grade.I wonder if there is some kind of guide to putting a more coherent training plan together for the season.I'm coaching a boys secondary school team, aged 12-18. What kind of skills should they have mastered?What should they be attempting, working towards mastering (individually and as a team)?I last played as a collage boy on grass fields, the change to turf pitches has obviously obsoleted (along with age) much of what I knew as a player.Any pointers appreciated.David
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. David
