newbiecoach

Hi, me again.
Another problem that I'm having with my girls is getting them to use their knee pads. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have one girl who is all over the floor, 2 that get down there if they HAVE to, and the rest just let the ball hit the floor. I have to admit that it is getting very frustrating!
I would really appreciate any suggestions....thanks

Hi there,
I am coaching my daughter's 6th grade team and things aren't going too well. I really need help in getting these girls to work together! Everyone's attitudes are really messing things up. Unfortunately, a number of my girls just don't like each other. And almost all of them tend to be rather critical when someone makes a mistake....one of them was actually brought to tears at our game this morning!
They are improving their skills and have the potential to win but with all the negativity, they don't stand a chance.
I don't know if there are drills that can help or something I can say, that I haven't said already, or what. Please, please, please help me out here.
Thanks so much!
