Netball: footwork sessions

Hi guys!!! I am a new netball coach. I don't know anything about coaching, as well as I have a team of all new players between the ages of 10 - 11 years old. Any advice or ideas are welcome. I NEED HELP URGENTLY PLEASE!!

Footwork drills for 9 year olds who have never played.

I have a group of approx 20 people and I am looking for some tips how to plan out a session with some sort of game at the end? thanks in advance

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?

My club with various ages and abilities is currently on break right now but will start our pre-season practice in mid August with the season starting in November.Basing off of the last season we know that fitness was an issue i need some help in how to prepare my A & B grade squads better for the up coming season!

I currently play for and captain a team and often run some training sessions during the summer for my team. There are quite a few things I think we could work on and also things the ladies want to focus on too. Sometimes I think I have had overloaded sessions e.g. too many drills and not enough time to complete them properly and then to have a mini game to put it all in practice at the end. For an hour session, how many drill sessions do you think would be ideal and is it better to focus on say a couple of skills per session?

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.

I have welsh netball trials and I was looking for any advice?

Describe the appropriate trainning programmes for physical fitness improvements in netball

I have been asked to be a "fill in" coach this week for a group of under 13s that have very basic skills. The last time I "took" them, i went right back to basics, i did a really basic footwork drill and passing. I am not "normally" a coach, but play the game and have a great love for it, like all of you I assume! (I did coach juniors YEARS ago, but i cant remember them having such basic skills). It would take more than a couple of sessions to build up there skills and i just dont know where to start, as I don't know how many weeks i will be "filing in" for. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

I'm due to start coaching some 6-12yr olds in February (have a meeting ahead of that in a week). At the moment I don't have any idea about abilites or previous experience but plan to ask about that next week, though I am guessing it won't be much, especially the younger ones. At the same time, I will be hepling to mentor some new coaches to help them progress (they will be Level 1 so assistant level in England). Any good tips for starting points? I have 12 weeks with them (all 1 hour sessions). My thoughts were to start with things like basic techniques for passing and getting footwork correct before moving onto attacking and defending principles as well as making sure there are plenty of fun games they can take part in.

Hi can you give me advice on a weekly exercise? How do you divide your exercises? When to do footwork, ball skills etc?

Hi there, Im coaching my childrens netball team and actually don't know much about netball. I have downloaded the 'Defensive moves to secure possession' plan so we can do some work but I don't understand what 'rolls, forward and back drives and weaves' are, have you got some examples so I can understand what these moves are?ThanksShae

How can you make under 13s, under 15s, and under 17s training different as some players play on more than 1 team.

I have played netball pretty much all of my life, but this week I will be starting to coach year 2's (age 6/7/8). I am sure they will all be new to the sport, and I could really use some advice on what to do. Any tips, or training excersices, or videos I could watch would be amazing.

Hi, I have a lady in my team who keeps getting pulled up for footwork (dragging)! i cant get to many matches and she doesnt do it in training, i videoed a game to see what the problem was and it seems that she has a very wide landing stance when on the run, almost as if she needs to take another step, ive tried to encourage her (and done a drill) to land on outside feet and small step footwork patterns etc but nothing seems to be working! Has anyone ever had the same problem?! Any ideas?!?! Sarah %3A)

cannot seem to get some players to stand still or not pick up landing feet when they get the ball. Blowing them for stepping normally get them into telling me about all the mistake everyone else is makings

I am coaching a little net set go team (set tier) with ages 5-8. Usually I coach high school girls. A mum of one of the 7 yr olds just messaged me with this: "i was just wondering If you have any tips to help us get Miss S enthused about netball, she isn't enjoying it but wants to "give it more time" (her words)." We only have a half hour training session before we play as no one else will coach but this is the only time I can do training and there are players from another town so this is the best option for everyone. We play a couple of warm up drills/games and practice 1 skill ready for our game. I have covered the basics of passing and footwork so far. None of my team have ever played before, but 4 of them did the net set go - net tier last year. The girl has only played 2 games so far as we have had a bye. So far she has had a go at positions GK, GD, GS, GA, and WA. She is the tallest girl in the team and so tends to get a fair amount of the ball. Any ideas on what to suggest to this mum?
