How to practice

1- Treat every practice like a serious game.

2- Have your entire team show up.

With the first two steps complete try different situations throughout the day. Remove some players right from the start. Try playing short against a full team. Play a game short two front players or a front and a mid player, or a back and a front player. Switch it around. Have someone watching the game to see what went right and what went wrong. After each game think about what happened. Talk to your teammates about what happened and what problems were encountered and how you can later eliminate those problems. Take everyones point of view into account.

How you train is dependant on a few factors.
First you must decide what your goal is. If it's just to have some fun, then playing a few games is enough to get you going.
If you want to be serious about it, you'll have to set up a strict training regime.
Here's how we do it. We start off with one or two laps around the field, to get warm. Then we do some short running drills, like high knees, slides (not the thing were you slide on your knees, but running sideways), and a few others. Then we line up and do some stretching.
When all this is done we do drills. We do drills until we get fed up with them, and then we do them again. Also, we run through some 'theory', game plans and stuff. Only after having spent several hours on drills do we play a few games as a reward for the effort we put in.
The type of drill is depandant on what skill you want to improve. So you'll have to look at the players and decide what you need to work on as a team and as individuals.
I'm sorry to say it, but proper training isn't fun. It's boring, tedious, and dull. It's endlessly repetitive (kinda like my posts), but it's this constant repetition that will in the end make you bust out the glory moves like second nature.

Good luck!

If you are doing drills or games and you get shot out, ask the guy who shot you why he was able to do so, are you sticking your elbow out to much, do you bring your leg out before you bring your gun out etc.

Also if you keep getting shot in the same place try to keep that bit tighter.

drills

drills are essential in practice. Doing practice games will only take you so far and you may well just re-enforce bad habits. Drills alsp break down the game into its most basic of parts ie breakout, sweet spotting, snapshooting etc. No player is ever perfect at everysingle one of thease areas so breaking the game down allows each player to work on the part of the game in which they are the weakest. If u play games u could and probably will end up doing the same mistake over and over.

Mistakes

Doing drills helps, but only so much..
Playing in tournaments helps more.
Getting the most for each player, you must do both.

Coupla little things you can do,

Go out and nick a coupla traffic cones, still some old 2 litre bottels in the top, and stagger them out at a distance. Really helps if you ahve a chrono handy too, just to get your marker to that 'optimal' performance. great for snap shooting, shooting at distance, etc.

Also, go out for lots of beer with your team mates, great for inproving communication and bonding, or if you dont like your team, may make them more tolerable!!
