How to get players to think about position on court and timing

Would like some advice as to how to coach defenders to defend a shooter who holds to protect space?  Any advice would be appreciated.  Thank you.

What are some good things to say to a team who are losing by a fair amount at halftime.?? They are 12 years old. How can i get them to keep motivated & not give up??

We need to practice our goal line throw as an attacking thrown because ares is getting intercepted is there any pointers we can use

I am currently going through the rule book with my team to improve their understanding but had some queries from a player that has played at quite a high level in Australia. In particular rule 13.1(v) which states: a player may having batted the ball once, either catch or direct the ball to another player and 13.1(vi) having bounced the ball once, either catch or direct the ball to another player. She disputes this rule and says the ball cannot be bounced or batted under control before catching it as umpires have called it replayed ball. Can someone please clarify as I am using England netball official rule book 2011 edition.

I'm coaching a small 12 year old side who are playing girls twice their size. I was hoping to some drills or strategies I can implement in their training for attack and defence so we can stop getting flogged every game

I need shooting drills for around the circle to help my team on weekends. I don't want drills that have nothing to do with moving the ball around the circle and shooting. I want shooting set ups for game day please.

What is the best way to defend the shooter who after faking a shot turns to WA or c on circle edge, passes out, takes a step nearer to the post and receives return pass either once or several times?

I coach and under 13 girls team and having only 7 players, I am unable to continually swap and change my players. I have two set players that play GD and GK, however, as much as I have tried they do not work together. There isn't an issue with them personally, I just don't think they understand they need to work together. I am just after some sort of different approach to teaching them to work together than what I have tried. I have tried teaching them to work together to defend the space in the ring, and also to talk to each other and call swaps, double team a player etc..

I am a defender and I am not very fast. I usually verse a fast attacker so what is the best way that I can get an intercept off her at a centre pass? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Looking for a simple drill to teach Under 9's defensive play without contact

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

i need to know some techniques when marking a player in netball.

As a GS how do I get out of being double marked by GK & GD? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

We are playing in n a grand final this week and the opposition has a very tall GS and holds very well. I am thinking of getting my defences to double team her but wanting to know best way to teach this & also what's the best way of stopping the GA (just getting WD & c to try & block her getting in the ring) any thoughts on best way to beat a tall shooter. The girls are 13 but played a lot of netball. Thanks

As a GS how do I get out of being double marked by GK & GD? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

How do you deal with a GD and GK double marking a shooter from front and behind? The shooter unfortunately does not have much of a gap to shot the ball.Also how do you deal with a defender who constant,y marks you facing you with practically a 1 inch gap between you and her? Especially in the semi circle?Thanks
