Netball: for 10 year olds

for 10 year olds ANSWERS
View All

The 10-year-olds that I teach do really well at training, but can't seem to get the ball to the shooters in the actual matches. Help?

I don't know if it's because they struggle to cope under pressure, or for any other reason. They do practice matches every week, so I don't think it could be to do with lack of match experience. Any suggestions?

How to deal with different levels of skill in one team

I have an U10 team playing in Div 1, we are doing well coming 2nd in the comp. The problem i have is I have 8,9 and 10 year olds in the team as we are a small club. I am looking for Drills to cater all age groups and the girls abilities/skills. There are girls who play beyond their ages, and then girls who cannot catch or throw a ball, (basically 6 of the 9 players cannot do both). They have improved, but i find the skilled players are getting frustrated as there are alot of turnovers due to basic errors, bad passes, stepping, offside etc....any advice would be appreciated.Thanks

Focusing 10 year olds

HI Peoples,I am helping with a team of 10 year old girls. They pickup various skills quite well but I noticed when we played another team the other day - the other team was very focused. No mucking about or getting distracted.Our team is hard to talk to them because they are constanly playing with balls, talking between each other etc.The question is how to get this disclipline in the team without being a tyrant?

Chest pass or shoulder pass

I coach 10 and 11 year olds that need quite a bit of work. They still need to build their upper body strength and passing accuracy. I am teaching them to use chest passes as the pass that they should use the majority of the time and use shoulder passes for longer range passes. I find that their shoulder passes are weak and not accurate, but something we are working on progressively. We have an umpire that constantly yells at the kids and demands that they use shoulder passes all of the time and has told me that I am coaching them wrong and that I don't know what I am doing. What are your thoughts on this? I do the best I can as a volunteer coach.

What are the best drills for developing aggression in Year 4-6's?

Our primary school netball teams work well when we train at home, but when we play matches against other schools, they seem 'too nice' and don't seem to WANT the ball enough to find spaces and play 'aggressively'.Are there any good drills or bits of advice to change this? We want to start winning some games! :-)Thank you

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
