I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Does anyone have any good advice on being better at GD?
Can anyone please give me some training ideas for defending the lob pass? Back in my days (too many ago to mention) we were taught to stand off and slightly to the side of the attack to discourage the lob being made. I haven't found much on the internet to help me with this one
Hi I have a team of 9/10year olds, when the ball is coming through the court and they are on defence, they have started chasing their partners and not watching the ball. At some stages today, they had their backs to ball, and no idea where the ball is? Any good drills out there, that work on marking the partner, but watching where the ball is too? Looking for those intercepts. They have started facing their partners, Thanks.
do you have drills for my defence players in the goal circle especially rebound work
Hi all, My daughter is about to start coaching for the first time and it's expected she'll have a group of 10 years olds in C or D grade. I'm struggling to remember what her capabilities were at that age and she's looking for some suggestions for drills to start off with until she gets a handle on where they're at. Is anyone currently working with kids around that age/ability bracket? Does anyone know if any of the weekly drills are aimed at beginners/introductory levels? From the ones I'm seen, they're aimed at an intermediate level so I'm assuming some of the games would be OK, but most of the drills would be beyond their capability.Thanks in advance.
What are attacking strategies and defending strategies??? I need to finish my coursework and I am stuck with those two!
how can I improve my contact and offside, are there any drills that I can use so here are less penalty's given away in a game
Can anyone suggest a drill to practise holding defence in circle for lob pass?
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!!!
Whats a good drill to help with coming infront of their partners instead of the immediate thought of dropping back for a pass?
What are the best drills to use for a session on man marking? and in what order so that the session progresses?

i need to know some techniques when marking a player in netball.
How do you teach man on man defence with 13yr olds? I have some really good defenders but they struggle to try and stay side on their player watching ball and player. I would like a drill that would help enforce this type of defence. Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
Hello - i am looking for a few GD tips on the best way to defend a shooter that receives the ball a couple of ways as i always struggle to get around them when they do these moves! First way is that the shooter lunges out very wide (practically doing the splits) to receive the ball from the feeder on the circle edge and steps back closer to the net with the foot that is closest. I can defend her getting close to the net, but then she turns to the feeder and jumps and splits - thus always ending up close to the net. The second way is when the shooter stays quite stationery under the net, a couple of foot off the back line and holds her space there. she receives the ball by a large over head pass, so she steps back slightly on one leg to receive the ball from the feeder. what would be the best way to defend all the large overhead long passes to her, or draw her out? any help or some ideas i can try would be great! thank you :-)
is it allowed to defend by blocking a players vision by waving hands in front of eyes?

Help... I am new to coaching netball albeit have played for years. My experience in playing comes from being an attacker so trying to work with my defence, is proving tricky. The issue I have is that both my GD and GK face mark. I have tried numerous drills in training however as soon as they get in to a match, they revert back to face marking. When the ball is coming down the court, I encourage them to stay on their toes, side marking and moving in front and round the back however when the GA or the GS moves out, the face marking starts. We have had balls bounce of the backs of heads and all sorts. Does anyone have any tips? Di
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
