We are playing our finals and the other team GD amp; GK are alot talker than my shooters can anyone please help me with different methods on how my shooters can get around this.thank you
I would try getting your other goalie to screen the shot, by placing herself between the defence and your goalie, so they can't get their arm down over the ball. Or get your WA to try zoning one of the defences outside the circle. What also may work is - once the defence has taken up position getthe goalie to do a quick flick pass behind her back out of the circle and back in. One of 2 things should happen the defence will move in and contact or obstruct, or as the goalie catches the bal she moves her foot closer to the pole, and while the defence is moving back to get 3 feet she can shoot. Good luck.
Get the 2shooters to communicate alot better, when 1 shooter is shooting make sure that the other shooter is standing infront to block the defence from guarding the shot. the shooters have many options before they shoot, can teach them to take step back to shoot, or take step to left or right if they find that they are under pressure from the long stretch of the defence. also get the shooters to start shooting from along distance and aim much higher for the goal as usual, Remember it also takes along time for a tall player to bend down for passes, so get quick fast passes going into the goal circle.

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.
