I have a daughter that plays ball hockey on a deck both on foot and roller, typically on defense. She's only played for 2 years, and is about to transition from U10 to U12. Though she's behind in handling and finesse compared to the kids that have been playing for 5+ years beside her, she is currently probably the fastest in pure speed in her league games, and one of the tallest, most physical players.
At her team practices they don't have much time to go into positional specifics, so I'm looking for advice on what skills will get her the biggest improvements on defense, and what drills I can run her through on our own time to improve them? The only solid plan I have currently is having her practice taking chip shots and one timers from the point.
We can work out on the decks she plays at most days, so I'd like to get a few sets of drills figured out to let her run through a couple days a week outside of her team practices. Ideally things we can do with just the two of us, or maybe include a third person as a helper if I can get a friend to agree to help out.
