Netball: free 20

I have never coached netball and it has been well over 20 years since i last played and that was a one off. I have found the drills on here and they a have been really helpful, The standard is not of highest and I think enjoyment is more important than turning them into a winning team, the ages are 8 to 12's. what I basically need is any advice on drills and basically any advice you have.... I am trying to refresh my knowledge of the rules which i have a very basic understanding of but would like to get a full list of all the rules, sadly money is a major issue and as i am volunteering to help keep the team going (as no one else can help) I was hoping there was a free source somewhere on line so i dont have to buy it!!! bad i know but Im already dipping into my empty pocket to get to the sessions. thanking you in advance Darren

My teams is playing opposition this week who has a very good GD who is a master floater. Last time we played them we played into her hands and lost by 2 and I want to have a few tactics for this week.We also had a young player fill-in WA last time which didn't help as she was unfamiliar with our team. I was trying to get the players to look for our GA who was often free but I think she was playing too close to the goal circle which made things a bit crowded. I think also that once my players realised what the GD was doing, they started to hesitate on the pass.Our GS is reasonably tall and has a good hold so if we can get a good high pass into her before the GD can drop back that may help.Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I organise a ladies netball group of varying abilities but mostly beginners. Despite constantly telling them to slow their play down, they are determined to pass the pall on as soon as its in their hands often resulting in sloppy passing. Any suggestions on how to slow the pace down and hopefully, improve their passing?

how can i get stronger arms, apart from doing push ups for passing the ball better and quicker?

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??

Can anybody help with a template/structure for a pre-season training schedule.Our club are evolving from a social netball team if mixed abilities (ages 20-40 ish) to a more competetive club with 1st & 2nd teams. We've never undergone any pre-season training before and I'm a newly qualified UKCC level 2 trying to get more experience at the same time as developing a training plan for the coming season.Any help/tips gratefully accepted.

I was advised players are allowed to push, elbow and shoulder their opponents if it doesn't interfere with the course of the game, is this correct ?

What is the distance in metres of the longest LEGAL pass in netball? To the nearest metre Thanks, Suzanne

Does anyone have drills for working on elevation. My girls are Year 7 and 8's - 11 and 12 year olds. Getting their legs stronger for jumping???

I assistant coach a year 5 team who have horrible core strength and they can not do planks and apparently 'sit ups are too easy' and they can't do push ups. What can i do to give them more core strength??

How can I stop my under 11 girls from mucking around at training? I have sat them down to talk with them and they say yes yes and then bang stupid behaviour

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!!!
