Tom , Kai And Hockeygod ,

Thanks for the insight into these games and drills. Great comments by all and much appreciated.

I was just thinking that we all could run the same games or drills , but the difference would be the little things.

Like – Roles , theme , skills etc.

Mine would look like just a drill with lots of flow. It would be lacking the finner details. Given the same drill done by all three coaches it would have a totally different look and outcome.

With a 50 min practice per week (Two Games), I must say that I am guilty of having two or three themes per session sometimes.
I see many coaches that don't a have a theme at all. Just drills for the sake of doing drills and to keep the players busy.

Tom, I really like the Transition games section . There are a number of great game like situation patterns or movement. Looking forward to adding this to my practices.

I think that I will have to make some adjustments and pay attention to the theme or roles for each game /drill.
Thanks again
