What is the best way to stop crowding in junior netball? Particular drills?
teach set plays so everyone learns where to be and what job they have. set plays are like on a centre pass, WA drives out and gets the pass, the GS drives up on the same side of the WA and takes the next pass and the GA drives into the circle ensure they time their drive to receive the pass from the GS as they get to the best shooting position. alternative is that the GD or WD take the pass with the next pass being to the GS ect...
or maybe C to GA on a centre pass, then the WA cuts across court to the same same side of the GA, the GS drives to the opposite side of the GA but inside of the circle then drives back towards their preferred shooting position.
there are 3 different options they have. they will learn that they all have a place to be and a part to play in these set plays.
thats a good starting point.

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.
