I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I'm managing a U9's team which has 10 players. I'm looking for a 9 player rotation spreadsheet that doesn't have anyone off for half the game and has people in at least three positions. I can find some but they either have people off for half the game or only playing 2 positions. I intend to roster one girls off each week (from experience having players only playing half a game leads to unhappy parents!). Thanks
The girls I am coaching have never played before and are aged 6 to 7 years, I really need some ideas to teach them the positions of the court - any tips or drills anyone can recommend?
Can anyone suggest a fun warm up for a group of skilled 14-15yr olds please.Thanks!
i need a unusual fun pulse raising activity?
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.
I am wanting to assess the fitness of the players in my new team, to find a candidate for Centre. I want it to be a game so they don't know What I'm doing. Any suggestions?
I am starting to coach a new U12's team this year with a friend. What are some fun and creative drills that will get them used to a coach they don't know?
I coach a girls netball team that is predominantly aged 11 years. I am looking for some really good team building drills â are you able to help/provide this? Also, we have some problem girls who are always trying to get out of doing practice and I wish to make it look so much fun that it would feel like a punishment for them to be sitting on the side watching. Can you provide some ideas?
My girls are winning almost all of their games and have even moved up a grade. I am now struggling to think of ideas and ways to keep them going. Any Ideas Please????
Our girls have recently become unmotivated and bored with netball, i want to make training tonight fun and exciting, does anyone have any ideas of what we can do. Drills and or bonding excersies? xx
Hi, This week I'm planning an extra fun training session for my U9's. After an all day carnival on the weekend, I thought having the parents join in our session could be fun. Has anybody done this and got any good ideas for games that would work for the kids and parents - any ideas for fun ways to modify the rules for a full court game that would even up the girls and parent's skills would be appreciated too. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I'm co-coaching an U13 team. The players are a mix of experienced, but mostly inexperienced players, with a couple of players who are really talented (these are two of our inexperienced players). All players are new to each other. The girls won every game at the district grading days and we were upgraded two levels. We are now in round 6 of the competition and the girls have lost every game and we just lost from the team that was below them on the ladder. We've had a couple of injuries and one was quite bad in round 4 requiring surgery which has shaken the girls as well. They are starting to lose heart and their game is deteriorating. How do we keep them motivated?
Hi im coaching the grade 1 netball team this year. Its my first time coaching so i just want some tips on how to start with practice. Some easy drills and things to do with them to make it fun and so they can learn.Thank youLindie
Would love some advice, I am a new coach about to start coaching 7-8 year olds who have never played netball before. I would love any advice you have for a new coach on how to structure the training session, any drills I should start with and fun ways to teach them the basic skills of netball
Help me please, I am coaching 11 yrs and have one member of my team who is making nasty comments towards most of my other team members, before I am forced to raise this issue with her parent (who is never in attendance, only drop off and pick up, and I dont think she would be the easiest parent to deal with either) I am hoping someone can give me some ideas on how to deal with this, should I ask her to sit out or should I try to include her more to force a better relationship, when I have asked her if we can make an effort to play as a team she is clearly telling me, Its not her fault and that she is reacting to others, but i know this is not true, I dont think she will except she is doing anything wrong, if fact she is my biggest trouble maker when it comes to talking, not litening and being disrespectful, to me her team and once even an umpire (at training) HELP PLEASE its upsetting my girls %3A(
What are some good things to say to a team who are losing by a fair amount at halftime.?? They are 12 years old. How can i get them to keep motivated & not give up??
