Is it obstruction if the shooter steps in?

When a shooter steps in when taking a shot the defender does not have to move. Is this rule still current or have they changed it because on saturdays game my defenders were not moving when the shooter stepped in but they were being pulled for obstruction every time. Also if the shooter steps in and you keep your feet still but move your arm is this still obstruction?

Equal time vs best combinations for finals

Hi all, just checking what people's thoughts are on either playing the best combination or giving everyone equal time during a finals series. Throughout the season, everyone has been given a fairly equal run but I'm not sure what to do in the finals and would like to hear people's ideas. Thanks

Coaching juniors from the sidelines - can we communicate with players?

While coaching my 9-12 yr olds recently I was told by the nearest umpire that I was not allowed to call helpful tips out to my players while games is in play. Is this correct procedure for "Adult" games or was the umpire being a little strict for the age group?Thankyou Christina WA Coach

fill in coach for U13s w/- very basic skill - Where to start?

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.

Pre-Game and break-time motivational chats

Hi Everyone - anyone got any tips for motivational chats before big games and at half time? My team are 2nd on the ladder but can lose their bundle when faced with tough opponents or rain. We're in the last round of the season and going to make the finals,...any tips for motivational chats. Girls are Juniors, between 2 and 4 seasons of experience and of average ability in a middle grade (none of them will play for Australia but they generally try hard and love the game).

How to cater for the different skill sets in my team?

I'm coaching 9-10 year olds. We are in a development level before heading to juniors next year. Our team is made up of different levels of netball skills and knowledge of the game. I struggle to cater for all levels as we only practice once a week and they are still at development level. 5 players have 4 years + netball experience with a higher skill set and always wanting a challenge. 2 players who know the basic and this is there 2nd year. my last 2 players who don't know anything and this is there first time playing. Need ideas??

Any ideas for Awards catergori...

Looking for ideas to award our kids for their 1st season of netball. They are ages 7 - 8. I don't want to use most improved or most valuable as they have all improved since their 1st game and they are all valuable to the team. So.....I guess I'm looking for more individual traits/skils ideas that is personal to each and every one of our players

Debbie Cross Australia

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.
