Netball: coaching

I am coaching a team of 8-9yr olds one of which is deaf. I am having problems getting anything to help me with this. Also I am wanting to print off some simple warmup drills eg basic run to first third walk back knees up walk back etc but have picturs for her aswell, but the session planner is more advance than this- I am wanting to do the same warm up for the start of each training and game. Any help ould be fantastic!!!

what skills did you have to learn to become a coach?

While coaching my 9-12 yr olds recently I was told by the nearest umpire that I was not allowed to call helpful tips out to my players while games is in play. Is this correct procedure for "Adult" games or was the umpire being a little strict for the age group?Thankyou Christina WA Coach

where do you start coaching Gr 1 netball. I need some tips please.

I am doing my Netball Level 2 coaching and having problems linking 4 sessions, Can anyone give me guideline?

What should I do on a first coaching session ? I don't want the girls to get bored, i want them to want to come back next week.

Hi this is not exactly a coaching question more of a plea for help. I live in Cornwall, England and do some coaching for my local primary school. I am desperate to get myself some official coaching sessions i.e netball 1 and 2 coaching. I dont know where to go for funding??? No joy with school sports coordinator. Has anybody got any suggestions please. I really want to give these children some good positive coaching skills.

i'm new in netball as a school team coach. i dont have coaching manual, how do i coach basics?

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.

I'm new to coaching (u11's). Had 1st training last night, was using my folder with drills from this site & a mum (who's daughter is new to netball) kept asking if I need help then was shouting instructions to her daughter from sideline for whole session & even got on court to instruct her. At end of training the mum said she can train the daughter on weekends as she was a state player & is a FFA coach??). Other mums were upset , said "does she realise her daughters not only girl on court", advice please? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

I am coaching 10 & 11yr old girls for the 2nd year purely because no one else wanted to do it - I've never even played netball and this site helps me every week, invaluable and we see tangible results. 1st year we won comp and championship, this year came 2nd in comp, champ starts this Sat. Two of the girls have told me their mums are changing them from this school team to another club (the one that won) next year 'cause "the coaching's not good enough for their child". All this teaches their child is that if your team isn't winning, go to another - forget about loyalty. Sometimes it difficult to take this on the chin. Any advice?

Because my co-coach and I are only 15/16 years old, we are only a few years older than the girls we coach (who are 11-12). This is useful in our ability to relate, but is not when we are trying to be serious and get a point across. We tend to joke around a bit at training in order to make them as enjoyable as possible, but as soon as we try to be serious, the girls assume we are telling them off and sometimes get upset. We have already had parent issues in relation to positions, so we do not want anymore complaints from the parents or girls. If anyone has advice it would be much appreciated, thanks.

How much is full subscription and what will I get for my money?

I am coaching an U13s team and at training i am struggling to get them to listen and stop mucking around. Any ideas i can try?

I coach 10 and 11 year olds that need quite a bit of work. They still need to build their upper body strength and passing accuracy. I am teaching them to use chest passes as the pass that they should use the majority of the time and use shoulder passes for longer range passes. I find that their shoulder passes are weak and not accurate, but something we are working on progressively. We have an umpire that constantly yells at the kids and demands that they use shoulder passes all of the time and has told me that I am coaching them wrong and that I don't know what I am doing. What are your thoughts on this? I do the best I can as a volunteer coach.

I am coaching girls who are in year 8 high school, so around the 13-14 age group. It has come to my attention that there is one particular girl in the team who "lords" it over one other girl at school. Tells her things that she thinks she is doing wrong and basically criticises her style of play. The girl who is being picked on was so upset she did not want to train this week and told her mother she wanted to leave the team.How do I combat this?I have already had one session with the girls about being a team and supporting each other and being better people. It seems to have fallen on deaf ears for this particular girl...

I'm a young coach who is coaching an 11A's team. I find it hard to identify/pick up on the problems within their play. How do you identify these problems in order to fix them? And what are some of these problems (like running flat-footed and release hieght of a pass)? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

Hi guys. So I've been coaching for 3 years. The same bunch of girls since they were 7-8 years old. I'm coaching then again this year which is great. But I've also just been approached in coaching the under 12's development rep team. Just wondering what I'm in for, as I haven't been given a lot of information as yet.

So this year I have had multiple problems with a parent. I have been yelled at by her in front of the girls and parents at a game and she has honestly made my time at netball horrible. She has told me multiple times that my training isn’t good enough and that it’s needs to get better, that I am in the wrong for sitting her daughter off for half a game, that the only reason I am coaching the team is because the club didn’t give her the team and many more things. Last year the girls won the grand final and the year before they were runners up. (her daughter in both those teams)I am 19 years old and I have been coaching for 6 years and playing for 13. Safe to say I know what I am doing. I have gone to the club about her and they know what she has done. I am hoping I do not have to deal with her next year, but if I do does anyone have any suggestions in regards to dealing with this bullying. Thanks in advance !! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
