How do I rotate 8 girls for netball
I play all 8, with 2 having half a game each. This is shared for the whole season. Once you play all teams, the 2nd round you'll have more of an idea when to give your best players a rest.
I play all 8 with 4 having a full game and 4 having 3/4's each. I find this way that haivng stronger players off for a 1/4 each doesn't affect the game too much. You can still keep players in positions for most of the game giving some stability. The following week I reverse it. I really don't like players having 1/2 a game but that is just me %3A-)
I hope this helps(: xx

Hi,
I find 8 players easy - i rotate the GS/GA and GK/GD at half time or each quarter%3A these 4 girls have a full game, but half is in a third. Then, four players share C, WA, WD - three quarters each. Depending on the individuals, you could either give each girls 1 quarter in centre, or two girls half centre each. some girls find it confusing, and are better in the one position for the game.
I do find it harder when there are 9 players - but again, divide the team into mid court and circle players, and give the circle players at least 1 quarter as GA or GD. one girl gets a full game - she plays 3 at GK and 1 at GD.
in more ways than one
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.
