Netball: games for fun

My nettas love to play games at training but i've already coached a team for a year who want hard training (their Juniors) and this is my first year of coaching nettas and still a little un-sure on what to plan for them for training that is fun and they can still learn. Any ideas

I am about to start coaching a team of 8 yr olds who have never played. Any tips or books on how to start teaching them the rules and skills of the game ?

Hi can u give me some ideas on how the shooters would feed themselves closer towards the goal. What i mean is by passing the ball in and out 2 one person and moving closer 2 the goal at the same time . Something simple for girls aged 10.

Hi I am wanting to do a drill with my girls (8 & 9 yr old first timers) to get them to watch the ball (also have a deaf child who will be in WD this week and she is having trouble getting the girls attentions both in attack and in defence) wanting to get them to focus on the ball and possesion rather than mum on the side lines. was thinking something like a hot potato but any other ideas for fun games that are visual rather than sound orientated. Any suggestions?? %3A)

I have a u/14 team with no netbal experience. I myself have never played netbal before. How do I start and what is the most important rules and patterns they need to know?

i'm new in netball as a school team coach. i dont have coaching manual, how do i coach basics?

How do I motivate my u/9 girls to continue practicing and playing netball? They are playing for a 2nd season and have not won a game yet. They only starting playing netball last year for the 1st time.

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?

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!

How do I bring the best out in a shy timid girl. To speed up her passing and to call names would help to start with any suggestions. Under 11s.

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.

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 have a new team of 7/8 year olds and we have one very weak player that doesn't move or listen nor catch the ball. Any advice? I need to play her in all positions as they move around to learn them all but feel she needs to learn one at a time. She says she just wants to shoot but that's difficult when she can't catch. Other players aren't passing to her either as she doesn't movebinto position. Any advice would be great! The rest of the time are thriving!! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

how to plan a session that keeps them engaged

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.

I am coaching family netball to teach the basics. I have 3 x adults and 3 x children. Anyone got any good games I can play with them that would work for such a small group (of different heights) please?

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?

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?
