Ok this is going to be my first time I have to run tryouts and cut kids this is cyo girls 4th 5th and 6th graders (ages 9-12) we have 2 teams a #1 team and #2 team there will be 23 kids and we will take 11 on the #1 and 12 on the other. Is it best to have all kids do same drills at same time or split them up in groups with some of the asst. coaches running different skill drills. I don't like to have kids at that age standing need to keep busy I would think. Just looking for some good tryout drills and what you guys think works best or has worked for you.

Utilize all your coaches and keep the kids moving. You could run some stations at one point of the tryouts.... where each coach runs a certain drill and the kids move from station to station... just a thought.
