I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
what drill could i do to improve running into space for netball ?
How do I rotate 8 girls for netball
Playing ball off post from back line pass
need help planning 4 linked session plans for my group of girls age 16-18 mixed ability
Any ideas on how to rotate nine players in an under fifteen years team (none of whom want to play defence)??
Can someone please advise me on where can I locate sound information on court systems? Thanks. Wendy
Good drills/explanations for younger players to stop bunching, and spread out/get free.Thanks :-)
i have begun to coach an under 11's team and they don't talk to each other or work as a team and i was wondering if there was any good tips to get them to do so?
I have a tall girl who is a great shooter, but she struggles in getting free for the ball. Can you suggest any drills to help her with this.
Now please correct me if Im wrong, but I played a game of netball today, and there was so much contact and obstruction that was not being picked up. Both teams were complaining about it, and when we asked the umpire why none of it was being picked up, she replied, that its only contact if you have complete possession of the ball. So basically if you do not have the ball you can push your player out the way and that isn't contact (by this state umpire....apparently) we were absolutely floored and were having a huge laugh at this. Is this what netball is coming to? I have never heard this before and would love for some opinions if i have completely got contact and obstruction wrong. Secondly, I have recently taught my U11s shooters to pass around the goal post for a back line throw in. My question is, what constitutes a short pass in this instance, as they apparently (I was on the opposite side of the court) didn't have much between their hands when they passed, but didn't get called and the umpire was right there. GF is this weekend and would hate for them to do it and get called, so just wanted to get some clarification from some of the umpiring gurus on here.
The over night we were playing and the opposing team threw the ball over the centre third . The ball wasn't touched or received in this third, however it did bounce in the third. The upmire played on as it had bounced. Is this correct ?
If I have the netball in my hands and my teammates are not coming forward to the ball and its nearly been three seconds, whats is my best option to do, instead of giving away a free pass to the opposition (held ball)?
Hi does anyone have any good suggestions for Game to play for improving catching? I can't think of any conditions to add to a normal 7-aside.Help much appreciated!
I like the idea of teaching set plays to stop my girls swarming the ball, but wasn't sure what set plays to use! Are there any on this site or can anyone share their favourite easy ones for 8/9 yo's
Defence stop the attack from hitting top of the circle - any drills to combat that in the attacks favour?
I am an umpire as well as a player, and I had a situation a few weeks ago that challenged my knowledge. On a centre pass. Referring to the third lines. Do the third lines form part of the centre court or are they part of the goal third. In other words at what point would GA,GD,WA and WD become off side? If their foot/feet were on the line? Same for the Centre, would she be off side if her foot/feet were on the line?
what is you favourite warm up before a game for netball? and ideas?thanks
What are the three stages of defending?
Hi I'm all new to Netball and coaching under 9's. We have 10 aside. Can anyone help in the best way to do a rotation form.At them moment I have a list with names and positions then each week I just move the name down to the next position so they play that position for the entire game and the resting players alternate eg with C or WD or GK each quarter. Are they the main positions to rotate with? Thank you for your time.
I have coached for the past 2 seasons, with my teams not having a lot of success. I am hoping that I can coach again for a third season. I want to improve my coaching skills and knowledge over the offseason, so if I am given the chance I can be the best coach that I can be and hopefully lead a team to success.
