I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
What is the best way for a Goal Keeper to defend, especially within the semi circle. ? Should they watch the ball then try to intercept any ball going to Goal Shooter or just mark up their partner?Submitted via email
What's the best way to beat a zone defence
My junior squads tend to ask for a ball to be passed to them, even when there is a defender nearby-often resulting in interceptions. I have tried playing bounce pass only games which works really well, just wondered if anyone had any other ideas I could try ?
how to get into the goal circle when shooters are being zoned out
Whats a good drill to help with coming infront of their partners instead of the immediate thought of dropping back for a pass?
I'm coaching a team of under 9's and 10year old team of ten platers. These girls are all at different levels I have a two players who played for the first time and two players who have come from junior courts, playing up into the main courts. My biggest struggle is out attacking area it is very weak and we can't get the ball from center pass into the third quarter we lose it with a turn over. When our defense gets the ball back we struggle to get it pass the center circle. I need help, suggestions and drills to help my girls to develop in the area by getting the ball down into our area.
I like the idea of teaching set plays to stop my girls swarming the ball, but wasn't sure what set plays to use! Are there any on this site or can anyone share their favourite easy ones for 8/9 yo's

Goalies are practicing but game day percentage are lower due to increase in pressure. Also need to penetrate ring deeper for higher percentage shots. Need feeders working harder to help goalies get better position Any drills would be helpful ðð Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I coach b grade senior netball, we range from 19 years old to 40. our biggest problem on game day is not getting in front for ball. they are continually running away from ball calling for it over top. for last 5plus weeks we have done every drill I can think of, involving change of direction, cut backs, holding space. they end up acing the drills. but when it gets to the game, all is forgotten again and running away from ball again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There, My Daughter runs in very big steps, I think if she runs in small quick steps, it will be better and quicker to dodge her defender? Any thoughts and or drills to help with this please? Love this page!!!
Hi, have a short GS in Rep. She has practiced and applied lots of strategies including holding, clearing out and reoffering, dodging and popping in space right in front of defence to take pass, triangles, holding and turning. She has to work super hard because of her lack of height against much taller defences. For the most part, she does really well, however there are still times when she seems to get stuck doing a little sideways dance behind the GK when she comes across a GK who is particularly good at holding front position, shadowing and anticipating the dodge. Does anyway have any suggestions? I am wondering if telling her to change her starting position in the circle, slightly to one side of the circle when the ball is on it''s way down to give her a definite space to drive to and then create doubt by sometimes driving out and sometimes driving back? Would love some ideas to try.
