Hi Amelia, it depends on the experience of the children you are coaching. However, some suggestions for teaching Netball to different year groups in the same week would be:

An introduction to the sport: Explain the rules, core fundamentals and run a warm-up game that develops the core skills required in netball.
Develop their skills: Run drills that develop throwing & catching skills, movement and shooting.
Introduce positions: Explain the purpose and the specific rules for each position.
Work on defensive skills and fundamentals
Once the class gets more confident, start setting more competitive drills or playing mini tournaments.

There are a lot of drills and plans on the Sportplan website that you can use to work on each of these things. I hope this helps.
