I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I have just started coaching 20 9year olds at my daughters school. 18 of them havn't played any netball. I have started teaching them the basic ball handling skills, shooting and we are working on the rules. I have limited time to get them ready for their first game due to alot of our training days falling on public holidays. We had our first mini game at training last week and it was ciaos. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can try and teaching them the rules while having a mock game without a mass of confusion??
In my first training session what should i start off with as i dont know the level of ability?
I wondered if anyone could give me a rough order of what parts of the game I should focus on with my daughter's 10 year old team for their pre-season and early-season training? I'm tempted to talk to them about positional play but they don't have really firm positions yet so I don't want to confuse them. I've just taken on my daughter's 10 year old team. They are division three and many of the girls played for the first time last year. Their coaching last year was very light. I spent our first session last week working on straight leads and dodges, just simple running onto the ball and throwing in front of the player drills. We have 2 more training sessions before our first game...
Are the rules for Sub-Juniors that same as those for Juniors or Netta? Haven't got our rule books as yet and have our first training session this week! Any advise appreciated!
Hello. I am a 14 year old girl. I have never umpired before, and i am expected to umpire this weekend. I will be starting on 10-12 year olds. As you can see i dont have much experience at umpiring and i am pretty nervous that im going to stuff up or call the wrong award for the infringment that occured. I have read the Netball Australia umpiring book but some of the words are too fomral for my liking, i dont quiet undertsand. ANY TIPS PLEASE?!
I have my first training session with 14yr old girls as their coach coming up. I've never coached anything before but know the game of Netball really well and love it, and, if someone doesn't coach them, they won't be able to play. My biggest concern is relating to these girls - it'll drive me crazy if they don't take it seriously and try their best. Does anyone have any advice on what I should (or shouldn't) say to them on the first night? I don't want them mucking around, but I want them to enjoy the season too! H
Hi I have coached the same team for 3 years and they are now under 11"s....I have always tried to mix it up and do something different every session to keep the girls interested, but I feel as though we all get a bit lost in trying to keep it different... I would like to have a basic foot skill "routine" and drills that we do every session, so basic skills become second nature. I would then add a different skill session and fun game each week....Is there any experienced coaches out there that do this or does it create too much boredom doing the same thing each week?
Hi I have a player who has recently taken up another sport and cannot attend training at all but can attend the weekend game. We are half way through the season. I am not sure whether its fair to give this player as much game time as the other girls and just wanted to know what other coaches might do in this situation. Thanks
I would like to do a fun session with my 17 year old as we are at the bottom of the ladder and will not make finals now.
Can a GA or GS use the post to rebound the ball from a back line, if they ground their feet on court first? This has happened in a match at U13 level and I wondered if it was allowed or manipulating the rules to the extreme
What drills should I do on the first training session for everyone to get to know each other? The girls I'm coaching are in year 3 and 4.
I need to strengthen the positioning of my defenders
I've just recovered form an ankle injury after 4 weeks without any netball. i was wondering how i should get back to netball, because i often find myself wondering if i will still be good at attacking and defending and all the other things you need as a player. Should i take it easy on the first week of training? What if i'm not good enough for the games we have on Saturday??
I'm coaching a team for the first time on my own this year. So my question is what do I start with and include in the first training session? They are 13 year olds and I'm unaware of the ability.
I coach a team who seem to lack enthusiasm. They donât smile - donât really interact with each other. We have been losing badly each week and I was thinking this may contribute to there lack of cohesiveness? I want them to enjoy there time win or lose and maybe some team bonding may help? Any ideas ?

What should I do on a first coaching session ? I don't want the girls to get bored, i want them to want to come back next week.
