I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
JUST WOUNDERING WHAT IS THE BEST AND FAIREST WAY TO PLAY NINE PLAYERS HOW TO ROTATE THEM , THEY ALL WANT TO HAVE GAME TIME
Any ideas on controling footwork with 8yr olds?? I am co coaching a team of mixed first timers etc and we are getting a lot of stepping coming through at training, then in our half court games it runs rampant.... Have covered the pivoting, twist and go but they just cant seem to stop? Maybe I'll get them to run at a wall and see if they figure it out then....
How do I evenly rotate a team of 10?
Is it ok to defend as GK with one leg sticking out behind as a balance? GA complains that my leg flicking into her is stopping her from getting the rebound.
Hi i am new to teaching and im teaching netball to year 5. I have never taught this in my life! Please Help! Do you have to teach the full game or do can you play in mini teams eg 4 groups of 6 without using bibs and positiions. I only have 4 weeks to teach it and they are still practising passing and catching skills, can anyone help please?
Hi, I am after a senior netball shooting drill for training which includes 2-3 goalies to improve there shooting accuracy. Please involve running for punishment.
How can a coach teach accuracy in goal shooting? Our team has 40 odd shots for goal in a game but the most we have scored is 14!
I need easy and effective stepping drill because my team steps
If the defender falls in while defending the shooter, is that obstruction? If they fall in and duck down they are still moving into the 3ft zone....
Can someone please confirm the ruling on a goal scored at Junior level (net 9 feet), when the ball bounces off the post above the net, before dropping in to the goal. I presumed that this would not be allowed as a goal as it uses the post like a back board in basketball but was told by another coach that this was ok? Does anyone know the official ruling here? Thank you
What is the best way to rotate 11 girls. Has anyone got a spreadsheet?
My associate coach and I disagree on whether U/10s should play different positions or focus/settle on one, maybe two. I don't want to put the girls in a box at such a young age but I also don't want a Jack of all Trades situation. They are still developing so much that I feel I'll be doing them a disservice by just putting them in the same position every week. The assistant coach says if we move them around we're not going to do as well but that is where the participation vs performance comes in for me. Surely at this age development is more important than winning?No coach likes to lose but I don't want to win at the expense of them experiencing different positions. What do you guys suggest? Thanks in advance! A Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
How to improve you players stepping
Clearly define spreading out in netball
Hi, Do any netballers or coaches know if this drill could be used for attacking if you treat the 3 black Cs as only posts and the grey C drives into the space to catch the ball. just to practice running into space to receive ball?
If the defender has her 3ft against the shooter and the shooter then takes a step back is the defender allowed to move in a bit or stay where they are? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I am new to coaching this year and have a couple of girls who struggle to catch the ball despite 3 yrs of playing. One is quite scared and the other does not have good gross motor skills. Any suggestions on drills or games to improve these?
When a player ( one that has played Netball for some years ) receives a pass how do you stop her from taking a giant step and taking time to control balance, instead of a shoulder width step and have control stright away?
can you lean on a ball to gain balance
My year 6 girls are experimenting with stepping in to shoot a goal. I'm finding this to be a disadvantage as they are unbalanced on one foot and therefore inaccurate. The defender is not required to step back, keeping 3 feet from the grounded foot so the shot is put up into the defenders hand. I am a centre court player so I'm not sure what advice to give.
