Netball SESSION PLANNER

SAVE TIME AND COACH WITH CONFIDENCE

Quick answer

Sportplan's netball session planner lets you build a training session online from 700+ library drills, with diagrams, many with video, or from your own sketches. Pick a template, add drills, then save, print or share the plan with coaches and players, and present it full-screen at training. Or ask Kit, Sportplan's coaching assistant, to plan it for you.

Every drill in the planner comes from Sportplan's library of 700+ netball drills, with diagrams and, for many, video.

How to plan a netball training session

  1. Set one focus. Pick a single theme, such as footwork or dodging to lose a marker, that suits your squad's level.
  2. Warm up with the ball. A short activity that previews the theme and gets everyone moving and passing.
  3. Build up the practices. Go from a simple practice to an opposed one, for example a 2 v 1 dodging drill, then a conditioned game.
  4. Finish with a game. A small-sided game that rewards the theme, then an open game.
  5. Save and share. Save the plan, share it with your other coaches, and add notes afterwards on what worked.

Common questions

How do you coach netball?

Keep sessions simple: one theme, lots of touches on the ball, and small-sided games rather than long drills. Build from a skill on its own to the same skill under pressure, then a game that rewards it.

Why is circuit training good for netball?

Circuit stations let a squad work on different things at once: footwork, passing and fitness, in short bursts that suit a netball session's stop-start pace. It's an efficient way to fit more into limited court time.

Why is fartlek training good for netball?

Fartlek mixes paces in one run, which mirrors netball's bursts of sprinting and jogging better than a steady run does. It builds match fitness without needing a ball or a full court.

Why is plyometric training good for netball?

Plyometric exercises, such as bounding and box jumps, build the explosive power netball needs for jumping to intercept or rebound and for quick changes of direction. Introduce them gradually and only with good landing technique.

Is there a netball coach planner?

Yes. Sportplan's netball session planner is a coach planner: pick drills from the library, add your own, and save, print or share the finished plan.
