1v1 elimination

1v1 elimination is a core skill for hockey players. Whatever the position the play. Pholo will be building a 90 minute practice for your team focussed on the skills of 1v1 elimination. We will be using a tool called XPS for our session design. XPS is the most comprehensive coaching software out there. It includes a playbook feature to make your own drawings, diagrams and animations to visualise your drills or games. A library to store all of your drills and exercises. An interactive calendar to start planning your next team practice by drag & drop from the library, logging attendance to keep up the stats and launching questionnaires to all of your players to request their training load or other feedback automatically following each training. We’ll show you how it works, but we’ll also make sure the chats and practice design sessions are useful to you if you do not want to use XPS yourself.

So we were live on Friday March 4. We went live at 13h CET in Europe, which would be 7am EST for the US & Canada, 9h in Buenos Aires, 12h in the UK, 14h in most of Africa, 17:30h in India or 20h AWST in Perth, Australia.

We’ll host a live session design session every two weeks. Alternating between a session by Coach Pholo and one by a coach of the Sport101 organisation from the UK. Anyway, we hope you can join us live and if not you find value in the shared knowledge from our on demand content here.
