How Can I become a Better GD?
Hi, I just strated Netball, and my couch says I am skilled for a newbie. Though we have a game tommorow and I realised that becuse of the BYE last week my defences has become shabby any tips. (my info is that i play U13 and is 12 truning 13)
Hi Subh,
As a GD it is important that you are always on your toes and ready to intercept passes going into the shooters. Another aspect that will be key for you is to ensure you get your distance (3 feet) before you put your arms up and over any shots. Staying in the game is vital, so try to avoid any silly penalties! Take a look at the drill I have attached to give you some tips on defending.
It is also important that you are an option for your attacking players, especially off your centre passes! Try to get free and offer for the ball.
Hope this helps and good luck for your game!
