How to easily swap girls positions for spring netball comp - 9 girls on team
Hi Sue,

Best of luck for the tournament!
The Sportplan Team
sue there really is no "easy" way to rotate 9 girls in a team. it all depends on the type of team you have the positions the girls can play. i have basicaly only 2 shooters on my team of 9, so my shooters rarely get a break. so i rotate the centre players and defence. some girls get only to play half a game and so be it. but if i had an even mix of positions then rotation would be a more equal thing. but you just need to be careful about moving people around too much, as the team never gets to gel as well. particularly with younger players as they are still learning about where to be, and where to expect others to be.
if you can give more info on your team dynamics, what you want to achieve this year, how old, and skill base it would be a lot easier to help with a rotation. sorry i couldnt help more.

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.
