Hi Grace, thanks for getting in touch. There are a lot of things to remember when coaching a year 7 team. Here are some things to prioritise during your sessions:
- Know the Basics: Understand the rules and techniques of netball.
- Safety First: Ensure players have proper gear and a safe environment.
- Set Goals: Establish clear goals for the team and individuals.
- Teach Fundamentals: Start with passing, shooting, and basic positioning.
- Emphasise Teamwork: Stress the importance of communication and support.
- Rotate Positions: Allow players to try different positions to learn the game better.
- Provide Feedback: Offer constructive feedback to help players improve.
- Boost Confidence: Encourage belief in abilities and celebrate successes.
- Keep it Fun: Make practices and games enjoyable with fun drills and challenges.
- Be Supportive: Listen to players, be patient, and foster a positive atmosphere.
We provide great drills and sessions that you can use to ensure that all of these things are present during your time coaching.
I hope this helps.
