Pre-season training ideas
Can anybody help with a template/structure for a pre-season training schedule.Our club are evolving from a social netball team if mixed abilities (ages 20-40 ish) to a more competetive club with 1st & 2nd teams. We've never undergone any pre-season training before and I'm a newly qualified UKCC level 2 trying to get more experience at the same time as developing a training plan for the coming season.Any help/tips gratefully accepted.
i dont have any templates, but there are some really good lesson plans on here that might help. fitness and ball skills is always a good starting point, as well as footwork, defence and circle work. will give you a really good indication of who works well together, and who is more serious about their netball than others.
hope that helps.
I agree, pre-season is a great time to get back to the basics, with more of a focus on fitness and ball skills. You might want to consider having extra or longer practices during pre-season, so that you don't neglect group work and team strategies.
Experiment with differerent team line-ups, and include scratch matches. Set goals for the team, and each player, so that everyone is headed in the same direction.
It will take time for a team to gel, so be patient.
