For an assignment, I most teach some students how to play netball; however we must do the training in the Competition Season. What drills can I do that are of high intensity and also fit into the Competition Season?
what do you mean by "fits into the competition season"? we did a fitness drill the other week with our U12/13 teams to help improve their fitness, footwork, and core strength all in one drill.
what we did was set up 2 lines using 2 cones for each line about 5m apart. the players lined up along one line and faced the other line doing fast feet. on my whistle they had to sprint to the other line, on immediately crossing the line, stop and start doing burpees until i blew my whistle again, when they had to immediately get up and do fast feet until i blew my whistle again where they sprinted to the other line where on crossing the line they would drop and do situps until my whistle blew where they would get back up and do fast feet. you keep repeating for whatever time you feel is adequate. if the players were not sprinting at top speed, the cones were moved further apart to make them sprint further. was a very affective drill.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
