I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
How do I set a defensive zone (ie GA WA C WD GD) and teach the girls to defend the zone they are in and not go for the ball?
JUST WOUNDERING WHAT IS THE BEST AND FAIREST WAY TO PLAY NINE PLAYERS HOW TO ROTATE THEM , THEY ALL WANT TO HAVE GAME TIME
I am coaching an under 9As netball team in their first year of competition. I have 6 experienced players and 3 new players who have never played before. There are 9 in the team so there will always be 2 reserves. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice as to how to organise/rotate the players each week so they each have their turn off. The girls need to have equal time on the court. I also don't want to disrupt their teamwork and want to keep the team as strong as possible at all times. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
How do I teach my team to pass and then move quickly so that the opposition's defenders cannot intercept our passes.
hi i jut started playing GK for a local netball team and i am struggling abit, im not sure on what i can and cant do, ie jumping and waving my arms etc plz help
9 players - 4 girls off half a game each week or 2 players off per quarter? I coach a 10 yrs team in a very close A grade competition. There are 9 players therefore 2 reserves are needed each quarter. Is it best to have 4 girls off for half a game each week, less disruption to team but best players are then off for half a game - girls are off every second week, or 2 girls off each quarter, more disruption but best players are only off for quarter of a game, girls are off every week. I am required to give all players equal time on the court throughout the season. Thank you.
Can anyone suggest several backilne pass sequences to get the ball effectively to the centre third. This is for 10 year olds.
Any ideas on how to rotate nine players in an under fifteen years team (none of whom want to play defence)??
My GD runs all over the place and when needed in the circle she is too slow in getting there. She plays a good interception game in the middle field. How and to where do I confine her on the court so that she is able to defend in the circle as well?
Good drills/explanations for younger players to stop bunching, and spread out/get free.Thanks :-)
Does anyone have a fool proof rostering system for 10 players in a team
My team of 8 in junior div" is a strong defence team. I have 5 players who have only played GD and GK. I have 3 WA who are the three shortest on the team and I am using one as centre. I have one WA who has bad feet so she is in GS. She is great at getting the ball but due to height cannot get a goal or get the rebound. My other WA struggles with shooting even without pressure but can get the ball well. My GD' are alternating in WD and doing well. My only 3 players who have height are GK players. 2 are excellent, one is working on watching the ball. Should I move one of my tallest players to Ga/GS? And train them there in that role. How do I change mindset from GK to GS? Any advice Would be appreciated.
I am finding the girls are lost on court. Some moving more around court to compensate for others. Should I teach them lines?
What makes a good netball defender? Whether it be WD, GD, GK.Also, how do you know what defending position is good for you? Right now, I am really struggling to know where I stand as a defender. Sometimes my coach puts me as WD or GK but I do not know which one I am better at.
Hi I'm all new to Netball and coaching under 9's. We have 10 aside. Can anyone help in the best way to do a rotation form.At them moment I have a list with names and positions then each week I just move the name down to the next position so they play that position for the entire game and the resting players alternate eg with C or WD or GK each quarter. Are they the main positions to rotate with? Thank you for your time.
HI EveryoneI recently switched from GK AND GD, to WA. I'm finding it difficult to feed the ball into the circle and having confidence in my passing accuracy. I'm also having trouble on getting free for centre pass, especially when the other team has a really good WD. I've only played WA a couple of times so I'm still learning, but I really don't want to let my team down. Thanks all, for the help!
My associate coach and I disagree on whether U/10s should play different positions or focus/settle on one, maybe two. I don't want to put the girls in a box at such a young age but I also don't want a Jack of all Trades situation. They are still developing so much that I feel I'll be doing them a disservice by just putting them in the same position every week. The assistant coach says if we move them around we're not going to do as well but that is where the participation vs performance comes in for me. Surely at this age development is more important than winning?No coach likes to lose but I don't want to win at the expense of them experiencing different positions. What do you guys suggest? Thanks in advance! A Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
