I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
In netball, my team is struggling to bring the ball up to the attackers through the middle third. We are struggling with the turnover from an interception. Can anyone give me any idea's for drills or tactics to help with this? Thanks, Laura Bevans x
Is it right that an umpire can award a penalty and a shot for goal after the hooter for time has blown, and that goal counts?
where do you start coaching Gr 1 netball. I need some tips please.
need help planning 4 linked session plans for my group of girls age 16-18 mixed ability
How do i plan an inclusive coaching session?
What drills should I do on the first training session for everyone to get to know each other? The girls I'm coaching are in year 3 and 4.
If advantage is called by the umpire and then no advantage gained by the non offending team due to the ball being lost/intercepted,should play be brought back for a free/penalty pass depending on the infringement that advantage was called for?
Team yellowhas centre pass- but ball not touched in centre third but caught by green team in goal third. Is this a penalty as 1st pass not received in centre third or can play go on?
I currently play for and captain a team and often run some training sessions during the summer for my team. There are quite a few things I think we could work on and also things the ladies want to focus on too. Sometimes I think I have had overloaded sessions e.g. too many drills and not enough time to complete them properly and then to have a mini game to put it all in practice at the end. For an hour session, how many drill sessions do you think would be ideal and is it better to focus on say a couple of skills per session?
Playing ball off post from back line pass
I am asking this question because every time I do netball everyone in my team always expect me to have an perfect shoot but I always miss just because I am good basketball that doesn't mean I am good at netball
I need some clarification please. In the goal circle if GS steps in towards the goal post and lifts her grounded foot, where does the defender defend from if the shooter stepped in before the defender lifted her arms? Is the 3ft from where her grounded foot was or where she stepped in to?
Hi, I am new to coaching, but have played all my life.I have taken on a team of 13 year olds this year, and am enjoying it. I have a few challenges, but the main one is that one of my key players, GK, has ADD/ADHD. She is the tallest girl on the team, and would be so effective if she just tried. She doesn't try. She doesn't engage with me or the other players. I have given her plenty of positive feedback, in the hopes that she will be boosted by that, I even partnered with her tonight at our training session, just to see how she would go. In the warm up with me, she was great, kept up and stayed enthused. When we started running drills and working on different things, she just doesn't even appear to be engaged. I know she is medicated when she comes to training, but I need her to switch on in a game situation. At the end of our training sessions, we always play a small game, and she just loses her enthusiasm and just doesn't try. I'm looking for ways to help and encourage her. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!!
I am planning a Netball session focused on defending for my BTEC. What questions could i ask them about defending?
I'm coaching 8 Yr olds, the majority haven't played before. Just need some guidance. Thank you. :) Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
Can a shooter or defender stand under the goal ring with arms raised waiting for shot to be taken if they are within 3 feet of opposition player. They are not defending the player taking the shot. eg: GA was taking shot, GD was defending the shot. GS was standing directly in front of GK with her arms raised waiting to see if shot was to be rebounded.
Defending off court player.When a player in general play goes off court to improve her position , does the defender HAVE to allow her onto the court ? OR can she block her from returning. Eg shooter on one side of the circle goes off court around the goalpost and tries to return to court on the other side but defender {on court} blocks her from returning. Is this legal ???
we had two different umpire opinion's last game about the defender placing her hand on the ball to prevent the shooter from being able to shoot.one umpire stated this was contact and that the defender is not allowed to do this, but the other umpire stated that as the defender was the required 3 feet away she can place her hand on the ball
I am trying to find a video of this skill to show players how to pass around strong over the ball long arm defence to avoid getting the pass deflected. Any links or ideas?
Hi, I have a player who is coming back to netball after not having played since she was 12 years old (now 18). I want her to develop her throwing arm as her shoulder pass is quite weak. Apart from throwing the ball back and forth at home, are there any specific exercises I can get her to do?
