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 3 times for not stepping into the centre circle directly at the centre pass. This seems a strange application of the deliberately delaying play rule, as she certainly was not doing it deliberately. What rule exactly was she infringing here?

Need some help on a dispute on a decision I made during a match I was umpiring recently.A player was tying her shoe laces in my half of the court. A goal had been scored in the half I was umpiring. Centre stepped in the centre circle whilst this player was still attending to her shoe lace. So in affect she had not got herself on side and then gone off side she just did not get on side.I blew the whistle to start play as the centre was ready. As the player who was in my half and was off side, I blew for offside.Can I have clarification on this please, was I correct, or should the other umpire have called this offside even though the player was in my half?Secondly, a reputable umpire told me a couple of months ago, that the umpire blowing the whistle to start the game at a centre pass, controls both sides for off side? I.e. All players that go offside at the centre pass, to the left and right of the centre circle. I was not suite about this so need clarification on that too.Thanks in anticipation.
I'm an accredited coach doing some research on blocking as I had never had a player called for 'interference'. Is it within the rules to block your opponent from leading down court whilst facing her? The example is with my WD going out for centre pass, then blocking her WA (whilst facing her) to delay WA's lead down court. Of course my WD has her arms down and isn't contacting.Thank you Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
What are the three stages of defending?
Why do interceptions fail, ie. what makes an interception successful and what makes an interception unsuccessful?
how can you intercept in a game of netball
How do I teach timing to a defence player who continually comes in late and gets penalised for contact. I dont think its intentional, but it is continual
After my opponent release the ball can I use my body but not arms to block in front of her so as to prevent her from going to the front?( In centre third) If the opponent just run ahead and crash on the defender, is it a contact?Or in fact the action of the defender preventing the attacker to run towards goal third is obstruction or a rule called" causing contact"?
I have a player who tends to hang back behind her partner in games, and then tries to move into position to receive a pass. She signals that she is free but doesn't move quickly enough into position so often loses the ball.No matter how many times we work on this at training, when it comes to the actual games she reverts to her standard play but then gets upset when nobody passes to her. She is fast losing confidence as the other players on the team are all moving beyond her level and she is aware of this. Any ideas?
how do I get my girls to defend tall players. We are playing a team tomorrow in the grand final and they are all so tall the ball just goes over my girls head??. Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
How can I turn these tips into possessions, is it footwork being too slow to actually get onto the ball. or what?? Most of the tips are in defence area and centre. Love some feedback Janine
