First time coach with first time netballers - advice on skill devel needed.

First time coach with first time netballers - advice on skill devel needed.

I am a Mum who has taken on the role of coaching my daughters Netta (U 9's) team. I haven't played netball since high school. This is also the first time that the girls have played, just two games under their belt. Can you give me some advice on which skills I should focus on first over the next couple of weeks. Many thanks in advance. %3A)

Start with the basics of passing and footwork. There are a lot of good basic drills on this site which are interactive and fun. This age group wants to have fun but love the element of competition so give them opportunity to get into groups and compete against each other. EG%3A Two lines facing each other, zig zag passing from one end to the other, time them and then challenge them to beat their time. Vary the type of passes and the distance in between them. Good luck.
