Forget about teaching drills but teach the fundamental skills which are necessary to complete the drills. For example getting an athlete to run through some type of agility course faster each time will only have limited training affects to the athletes ability to be change direction quickly. Teaching the skills of linear and lateral deceleration and acceleration would be far more appropriate and the results far more reaching.

Some coaches drill the hell out of athletes/children without understanding what the perfection looks like and how to coach towards perfection.

Remember they are only 11 years old too - make it fun while incorperating drills within the session.
