Hi, my team is having issues breaking a defensive zone where the GD and GK sit high in our attack end and play an area rather than players, we tried manning up on them but just crowded the attack end and didn't work? If we lob over them the other defender drops back and picks up the intercept, same when we pass to the corners. Any advice will be gratefully received! Cheers Keli
How is the best way to defend a GS who is a foot taller than the GK and can hold faily well (and no exageration I have a very short team so putting a different defender wont change much )
How to defend a holding shooter
I'm coaching 8 Yr olds, the majority haven't played before. Just need some guidance. Thank you. :) Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
I like the idea of teaching set plays to stop my girls swarming the ball, but wasn't sure what set plays to use! Are there any on this site or can anyone share their favourite easy ones for 8/9 yo's
I have a new player and we don't have a WD so I was thinking to put her into a WD.
i would like to know how i can advise my team to effectively handle taller opponents if them are short.

Does anyone have any tactics on how our GS can get around a very tall GK and shoot? The GK is 6ft 5" with very long arms and our GS is 5ft 4"!! Any tips or tactics would be appreciated! Thanks :-) x
How do you beat a player that is blocking/face defending an attacker who is finding it hard to get free? Particularly when they are trying to go forward into the space for the ball.
What is the best way for a Goal Keeper to defend, especially within the semi circle. ? Should they watch the ball then try to intercept any ball going to Goal Shooter or just mark up their partner?Submitted via email
I play school and state netball as a GK/GD, when my other player is defending the GS or GA, I hold on to her defenders leg/hand for an extra lean. Because I'm quite larger and taller than most girls and already have a pretty good lean, when I ask my defender to hold me so that i am closer to deflecting the shot, she uses two of her hands and her body strength to hold me. My coach told me not to do this because she believed I wasn't allowing myself nor my other player to get an intercept or rebound, even though we had gotten most rebounds and had gotten a few intercepts with this technique. Is this an disadvantage or advantage to us?
I coach and under 13 girls team and having only 7 players, I am unable to continually swap and change my players. I have two set players that play GD and GK, however, as much as I have tried they do not work together. There isn't an issue with them personally, I just don't think they understand they need to work together. I am just after some sort of different approach to teaching them to work together than what I have tried. I have tried teaching them to work together to defend the space in the ring, and also to talk to each other and call swaps, double team a player etc..
Do you have any tactics for a goal keeper? just so that they can improve. So far they cant quite intercept all balls & judge where the ball is heading. any ideas for improvements?
As a GS how do I get out of being double marked by GK & GD? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
should the GK stay behind the GS or in front
Is it ok to defend as GK with one leg sticking out behind as a balance? GA complains that my leg flicking into her is stopping her from getting the rebound.
I have a GK who is miles taller than most of her opponents but she never gets intercepts or rebounds as she is just too nice and slow off the mark. How do I make her more hungry for possession and to get her to more agressive but in a good way
