Netball: compete

How do you advise your team as Coach when they come up against a rough and agressive team?  What is the best way to cope with rough play. Thanks

I am a Mum who has taken on the role of coaching my daughters Netta (U 9's) team. I haven't played netball since high school. This is also the first time that the girls have played, just two games under their belt. Can you give me some advice on which skills I should focus on first over the next couple of weeks. Many thanks in advance. %3A)

Does anyone have some good rebounding drills for GD/GK

Where should I position players on the court for a throw-in from the backline?

Hi My U11 team play against teams that continually use bounce passes, but they struggle to defend against them. I don't encourage the girls' to use them at this age, but I think this is making it hard for them to know what to do. Any help gratefully received. Thanks Charlotte

Hi, i have a group of 16 year old girls who are playing c2's this season, we have just made finals but will be playing extremly rough teams. the girls have done very well not to take it to heart and keep pushing. However they are so small and tend to get beat up by the bigger and much older players. im hoping for advice on how to play (esspecialy in the ring) around them, as they are too small to push back or hold their own ground. thank you :)

How do I evenly play 10 players over 4 quarters

I am coaching an under 9As netball team in their first year of competition. I have 6 experienced players and 3 new players who have never played before. There are 9 in the team so there will always be 2 reserves. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice as to how to organise/rotate the players each week so they each have their turn off. The girls need to have equal time on the court. I also don't want to disrupt their teamwork and want to keep the team as strong as possible at all times. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there, I coach an under 10 netball team and have rotated the team fairly throughout the season. We have now qualified for finals and am wondering if I should play my strongest team?

I have a team of 12 girls; 3 goalers, 2 defenders and the rest centre court. We will make it into the finals series and as a result i have talked to the girls in an open discussion about what kind of stratergies they would like to use come finals. This included a vote on how we should field the team, even court time for all or play to win, fielding our best team based on training attendance and behavior at training, commitment, sportsmanship and how they are generally playing on the night. Only 2 of the 12 voted even court time and we had further discussion and clarification or question and everyone was sent home happy. However i have one Mother who i cannot please no matter how hard i try who is fighting this decision, her daughter complained yet voted play to win> I don;t know what i should do, i like the girls to learn to make decisions in a team setting by themselves and learn about the outcomes of such decisions but at the same time i don't want angry parent(s)! HELP!!

Hi, I'm co-coaching an U13 team. The players are a mix of experienced, but mostly inexperienced players, with a couple of players who are really talented (these are two of our inexperienced players). All players are new to each other. The girls won every game at the district grading days and we were upgraded two levels. We are now in round 6 of the competition and the girls have lost every game and we just lost from the team that was below them on the ladder. We've had a couple of injuries and one was quite bad in round 4 requiring surgery which has shaken the girls as well. They are starting to lose heart and their game is deteriorating. How do we keep them motivated?

What is the best approach to positions for a team of beginner 8 year olds? Play every position through the season or foxus on 1-2 positions? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

hi, i'm going to be trying out for the Vicki Wilson competition and i am up against really good players that are in rep and int he A team in club netball. these players are so much better than me and there are nearly 30 people trying out to get into the team. i really want a position but it will be really hard to get in. the trials are going to be held inside a sports hall and we are playing on slippery wooden floor. i'm scared i might slip. also, there are going to be people watching us play, so i'm really nervous about that. i don't have training for netball, only netball games every Monday, so i'll have to do my own training. Any tips or advice? any training ideas i can do on my own without much equipment?Thanks so much!

9 players - 4 girls off half a game each week or 2 players off per quarter? I coach a 10 yrs team in a very close A grade competition. There are 9 players therefore 2 reserves are needed each quarter. Is it best to have 4 girls off for half a game each week, less disruption to team but best players are then off for half a game - girls are off every second week, or 2 girls off each quarter, more disruption but best players are only off for quarter of a game, girls are off every week. I am required to give all players equal time on the court throughout the season. Thank you.
