Tips & Ideas for One Coach and Many Players:
- · Count any time you give a task so time is not wasted doing small tasks like shagging balls or putting up nets. Penalties for missing time limits.
- · Give every player a job: motivator, shagger, coach to another player in the drill, keep time, toss in balls…
- · Whenever possible, have the coach just coach and have players initiate balls. This takes some time for players to get but once they do, the job of the coach becomes just a coach and not the one who runs the drill and the coach.
- · Run drills Quickly. Players will learn to keep up to the pace of the drill.
- · Don’t stop the drill to talk to a couple of players. Coach and walk throughout the drill to coach without stopping the drill. As coaches we like to have too much control so we like to stop the drill often to talk to all of the players which slows down practice time.
- · Only spend 5-15 minutes with each drill and then switch to different drill or skill. Attention spans are short and we want to teach kids to be able to easily and quickly transfer one skill into the next.
- · Set small goals like 5-10 or set time instead of numbered goals. Must have 8 passes to target in 2 minutes…
