Field Hockey: web

Has anyone wver heard of Browning sticks? Can't find any info on the web about them other than in a couple of chat threads. There are a flood of cheap sticks on Ebay/Amazon and generally excellent reviews, but I am a bit suspect as to where they are coming from. Only other Browning I have heard of is the Gun manufacturer, and certainly don't want to support them!

How do I draw drills and make them move in animation?

I have drawn animated plans for penalty corners but cannot view in full screen/slideshow for saved files in folders - is there a way I can show as full screen to the team?

I am aiming to use the animations I have created for a coaching presentation and therefore it would be great if I could attach the animation in the powerpoint directly. (I am on a MacBook so using Keynote however this shouldn't make a great difference).Thanks

I'm trying to create a YouTube video upload link but when I paste the link, nothing happens. There are no options to save etc. This seems á¹­o happen on both the mobile app or the Web application/site. Any ideas?

I'm using the web version to create my 'playbook' for the team, but when I log onto the app I cannot find anything that I have created and saved. please advise how I can do this thanks

Help me

Every time I go to create a PDF of my plan I get stuck with this spinning wheel which will not progress. I have tried on the web browser and app and get the same problem

I have paid for acces to Sportplan. I can access the app on my phone with my user and password but the same user and password doesn't give me access using a web browser like Safari or Chrome

hi there I'm using 4-4-2 and on sometimes 3-1-4-2 with a lower level hockey team.I've chosen this over other formations, simply because the hockey experience and ability of my players is not of a high level (and most people have an approximate understanding of 442). Also, I believe that one must choose a formation based on players traits and what they can deliver. For example, I'd ideally prefer to have 3 forwards, to help with more height and width but then would have to either play 3 in the middle or 3 at the back... and my player strengths don't permit this. In short, I simply don't believe I have a strong enough CH / CM to handle 3 in the middle and I'm not convinced that the off-the-ball support from other players is strong enough to allow 3 in the middle. OFFENSIVE PLAYS Anyway, I'm not 100% where to get my centre mids to stand when we have a 16 yd hit to take (i.e. our possession). Obviously one of the CMs comes deep to offer a potential direct outlet from the centre backs or offer an overload option if the ball goes out to the sides (which is more likely, since I've pretty much banned the high risk play of releasing up the middle - we've had far too many turnovers in our final third or quarter because we tried to play up the middle). My players are 'aware' of posting up and leading runs. However, I'm not sure about the 2nd CM. On the one hand I'd ideally like the 2nd CM to come deep as well, in order to potentially help break up the opposition press but by doing so, I distort the midfield and if we do manage to get the ball to one of the CMs, he won't have the 2nd CM in a higher position to release to, etc. DEFENSIVE POSITIONING Can someone suggest, again, about midfield positioning using 4-4-2 or 3-1-4-2, when we are setting up a general press? I have traditionally encouraged man marking, simply because our general positional awareness is weak (which makes zonal play a no-no IMO) + our tracking and attitude to committed defending (i.e. you don’t give up if one tackle fails) could be better! However, looking at suggested presses on Sportplan, some zonal positioning seems a necessity and I think if I can help my players make the step, success will come because they've been forced to become more aware of their pitch positioning, etc. Also, looking at some of the presses, it looks like the midfield can go 'flat' to create a barrier... and as I encourage a diamond shape in midfield, I need to explain to my players what to do and when. Sorry for the wordy question. I hope this all makes sense. Regards, Gary

I really have a big problem with my u/15 girls.  They just can't play as a team. Any advice please. There's always a fight between someone. Mariette
