There is a fairly large skill disparity between a number of girls either first time playing, or coming up from U8 to those this is their last year of U10. So the talent ranges from can't catch unless underhanded right into the glove, ducking from it and shot putting the ball when throwing to girls that the basic drills aren't exactly a challenge.
In a typical practice, I'll run multiple stations and mix the girls up in groups and mix the skill level. I'm not really thrilled with it because I end up since the drill can be derailed frequently by a player who just isn't capable of completing it successfully or more experienced girls are bored. Yesterday, I tried splitting the girls based more off their capabilities so each drill could be tailored to them. I was not a fan of that either, and doubtful I'll do that very often.
Any suggestions on how to manage the great skill divide to provide the kids with the best experience?
i also take any and all drill/practice suggestions. My go to list is to small, need more options/variety. =)
