Create Variations in your circle Drills to make them more challenging for your youth players
We all fall into the practice of repeating the same drills. Habits die hard.
To make your circle drills (in particular for youth players (U12 and younger where you are doing circle drills) more challenging, try different variations on the basic pattern to push your kids out of their comfort zone. Some of these include:
Crossovers (forwards) to Crossunders (backwards)
C- Cuts Forwards to Crossovers (forwards)
Mowhawks (inside edges) to Crossovers (Forwards or backwards)
Crossovers with Jumps at the hash marks
Transitional turns at the hash marks (pushing from forwards to backwards to forwards)
and many more…
Get out of the basic and challenge your kids on their edgework!!
