I am training some net-baller between the ages of 8 -14 and the drills are very hard for the 8 year old. Do i have to split the team up
From experience it is quite tricky to coach when you have such a differenc in age ranges; 8 year olds are at such a different stage than a 9/10 year old let alone 14! It is better to split them into age groups,(8-9)(10-12)(12-13) if you have someone to help that will be easier. Although the olderones should beable to get on abit themselves once shown the drill and then you could give them progressions while you help the younger ones get to grip with the drill. There are quite a few drills that you can use for all on this website, basically it's the age ranges that is causing you the problem. If it helps i can let you know which drills work well, Let me know.

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.
