Coaching it
How to get more from these practices.
Every player, every rep
With small numbers there is nowhere to hide, so players get far more touches than in a big group. Keep the work short and intense, with rest built in.
Stations work well
With a bigger squad, run two or three of these at once as stations and rotate the groups, so everyone stays busy.
Add competition
Small groups suit races, scores and personal bests. Keep a simple score and set a target to beat next time.
