You wait for an opportunity to sub for her and explain to her what she needs to do to correct her mistake. If you constantly yell at players for making mistakes then they will not take risks on the field for fear of being "singled out". Coaching 101.


Just because you are yelling to a player doesn't mean you are yelling at a player. You can yell to let a player know " That's exactly how I want it done " " Double ball now" Some adjustments need to be done on the fly ,remember there are no timeouts


Good point. These are 12 year old girls. They don't know the game well enough to just go out there and play. They need to be instructed throughout the game or they will not ever progress and grow.
