Our shooters are mid height and we have a game coming up in two weeks where both defenders are freakishly tall...Apart from stepping sideways or back to take shot is their any other advice u have to get around this?

Typically, tall defenders unless they are representative players haven`t been taught to move around the circle well. Try teaching your shooters how to work the circle and work together to get the ball in. Try swinging the circle or have the GS hold front towards the post and have your GA run the top of the circle and hopefully one of the defenders will leave the front position open. Also try teaching the girls to step around the hands. Hope that helps

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.
