I have a team of 7-9 yr olds. One of my girls gets distracted on crt, I have seen her looking up at the sky in a world of her own, How can I gently encourage her to keep her mind on the game??
they are 7-9 yr olds...lol its a tough age to keep them focussed, more so because of the way the game is played (ie lots of quiet time for the shooters and defence). maybe move her into a position that forces her to keep her focus. but honestly, i wouldnt worry too much. i think if i was that age, the sky would look very interesting too, when the ball is not in my hands...lol
Ha yes very true %3A-) its my first time coaching such a young age, so totally didn't know what to expect, thx for your answer it puts it into perspective!
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.
