I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
My centre was penalised for stepping in the centre circle - she took her centre stance and after the whistle was blown she stepped out with one foot. I didnt think a centre had a 'landing foot' at a centre pass, providing both feet are in the circle when the whistle blows, but the umpire said when she returned to the circle she put her left foot in first so that became her landing foot even though play had not been started. I told her just to stay in the circle but I would like to know if the umpire was correct or if she had it wrong
When a shooter steps in to shoot, but no defender was in place at that time, can one come up and then defend within the 3ft of the shooter but are 3ft from their original landing foot? Does the 3ft need to be 'established' before they defend or can they defend anytime after they step in?
Is there any ideas to make it fun and effective?Is there someone who has a nice obstacle course for me?

I am a wing attack and don't now how to intercept
How can you get an interception with two hands and deliver the ball safely to goal. If I am getting a tip on the ball when intercepting is that down to basic ball handling skills ? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
Would love some advice, I am a new coach about to start coaching 7-8 year olds who have never played netball before. I would love any advice you have for a new coach on how to structure the training session, any drills I should start with and fun ways to teach them the basic skills of netball
When the gs gets out of the shouting semi circle Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
how best to deal with a member of the group that is more talented than the rest
I wanted to just ask. I am about to design a training session that is illustrating how to play out, keeping the ball, when the apposing team are good at applying zone marking on dead ball situations. I know how i would play this out as a player, but i would be interested in anything anyone could advise, as there must be so many ways i can show them.Zone marking is affective if everyone in one section is applying it, of course.
I have just started coaching some age 9-11 girls for the Hifive netball game. has anyone got any recommendations for drills or ideas that might aid me. especially any particular game play ideas.thank you

Good day, I just want to find out we dont have any educators in our school who can teach netball so some of us want to do our netball course
I am doing my Netball Level 2 coaching and having problems linking 4 sessions, Can anyone give me guideline?
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?
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.
Hi, This week I'm planning an extra fun training session for my U9's. After an all day carnival on the weekend, I thought having the parents join in our session could be fun. Has anybody done this and got any good ideas for games that would work for the kids and parents - any ideas for fun ways to modify the rules for a full court game that would even up the girls and parent's skills would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
