Netball: ball catching

I have a player who after many years still has trouble catching the ball - seems her hands are too hard - the ball just seems to bounce out of them. Any ideas?

training for 10year olds

Hi, has anyone got any good drills for ensuring players keep watching the ball?! the defense have worked a lot on their marking,body postions/footwork etc but often when the ball is inside the circle they are so busy watching their player their heads drop slightly and they forget about the ball!! i've tried periphiral vision drill on here but doesnt seem to be sinking in in matches esp if against quick shooters! any tips would be great! %3A)

I'm coaching ball skills to 8 year olds who have never played before. I have a good idea of sessions to run but any top tips from coaches with experience in this age group would be welcomed!

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

Hi everyone!! I need some help.... Does anyone know any easy but fast side line or back line throw ins and who should take it. What about any drills for centre pass or to releasing the balls faster and not wait until the opposition player is with them.

coaching u13s have 6 good players and 2 that this their first season.For this first half of the season most of their training has been catching and throwing .I find that they are not improving so on game days the other players are reluctant to pass it to them as they either drop the ball or pass it to the opposition.I am struggling to know what to do 

My daughter has just started playing netball what are some good one on one skills for me to do with her? She is 11.

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?

Hi, I play netball frequently, but I am trying out for some new teams and I want to know of some good one player netball drills. I have a wall I use and a hoop. I don't really want to use the ring as much because I wanted to trial as a centre player, but anything is helpful.

I have a player who always turns or steps aside from catching the ball so never catches it, any advice on how to stop this so the catching Improves ?

Hi all, My daughter is about to start coaching for the first time and it's expected she'll have a group of 10 years olds in C or D grade. I'm struggling to remember what her capabilities were at that age and she's looking for some suggestions for drills to start off with until she gets a handle on where they're at. Is anyone currently working with kids around that age/ability bracket? Does anyone know if any of the weekly drills are aimed at beginners/introductory levels? From the ones I'm seen, they're aimed at an intermediate level so I'm assuming some of the games would be OK, but most of the drills would be beyond their capability.Thanks in advance.

how can I use a bounce pass effectively in a game?

I'm coaching the very young team yr 1-3 age 6-9 and was wondering what's the best drills to teach them ball skills passing quick and basic rules? Thanks Mikaela

I have a young player who is 5-6 and her first year. She is very scared of catching the ball, she closes her eyes and turns away. I have shown her correct hand position and called her hands her super heroes and they will protect her. I have shown that if she has her hands and arms in the right position the ball will not hit her. I have tried using bean bags (might go back to this).What else can I do to help her. She is so sweet and I don't want her singled out in drills if she can't catch.I'd love some help on this
