I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Hi I am a first year coach of a 9 and under team.My girls are struggling with the concept of running to space and receiving a pass on the move while advancing the ball to our attacking third.It seems no matter how hard i try to implement drills for passing at practice, come game day the girls still group together and call for the ball standing still. Any ideas/drills anyone could suggest would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark
I had a GS that would step in everytime to take a shot, the GD would hold her ground and continue to defend the ball (3 feet from the original landed foot), however the GD would then reach with her arms to the ball above the GShooters head where the GS in the act of trying to get clear of the GD would hit the ball against the GD hand. I didnât call anything however my question is if the ball is forced by the GS into the GD hand is this a penalty? The other occurrence that happened was when the GS stepped in on another occasion, she was physically touching/on top of the GD, I didnât think the GD was in the wrong as she was 3 feet, did the GD have to reshuffle so she was not touching or is this a penalty on the GS?
The shooter / goal attack has taken up position to shoot. The defensive player takes up position behind the shooter, the three feet rule is applied and no other infringement is present. The defensive player places her hand beneath the ball, not touching the ball or the player. The shooter brings the ball down to take the shot and touches the hand of the defensive player. Is this taken as contact and how strictly is this rule applied? Lee-Anne
I have a child on my team who is a good little player but she is being left out during the transport of the ball from the defence end to the attack end. She runs in line with the ball but passes to her get intercepted as she is running away from and not to the ball. The others don't see her most of the time and don't look for her
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 group of 14-16 yrs who have the potential to be very good netballers. Their basic skills are brilliant but they are lacking strength on the ball & when being marked. Can anyone offer an opinion on how i can toughen them up? Thank you!
The girls I am coaching have never played before and are aged 6 to 7 years, I really need some ideas to teach them the positions of the court - any tips or drills anyone can recommend?
To give my girls practice at a game I would like to know how to set them up on half a court and what the rules are please
How do you get the Goal Defence staying with the Goal Attack, especially when the Goal Attack drops down behind the Goal Defence and gets the ball all the time in the Goal Circle?How do you get the Defence in the Goal Circle to rebound and how do you get the Goal Shooters following their shot and rebound?
Good day all, I'm trying to teach my defending players when intercepting to try and pull the ball into their body instead of just flapping it out of court. Please advice on drills. This is for a social - to skilled players varies ages.
How to move around in the goal circle Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I have a new player and we don't have a WD so I was thinking to put her into a WD.
Hi Everyone I've been playing defence for a long time now, and only last Saturday did I start to play centre. It was during our warm up on that day, (before our game) when my coach told me that I would be playing centre. I agreed to do it, but the problem was that the other team was a really good and very fit team. I struggled a lot durig the game, and i felt like i was dying the whole time! Also because I had never played centre before I didn't know how to feed the ball into the goal circle. I also don't know how to defend on the goal circle. Also what is the centres main job?Thanks so much for all the help! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
If a WA is holding the ball on the edge of a shooting circle and is waiting for the shooter to move closer to the hoop whilst her legs are in a split position before passing her the ball then passes the ball to her as she is now closer where does the defender have to defend from.

My friend coaches an under 13s team and when someone has the ball they all run for it like seagulls going for bread. The coach has told them many times to spread out and for not everyone to run to the ball at once but the girls keep doing it and they can't get the ball down the court.
Hi there, Can someone give me some drills/games/ideas to help my girls to attack the ball. They are not contesting the ball at all or chasing it down, they are being way too polite. Thanks
I am a wing attack and don't now how to intercept
in more ways than one

Thank you sportplan I hope to continue to use your helpful tips and to learn more about improving my teams netball skills. Thanks again....keep it up....
I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
