I have just started coaching 20 9year olds at my daughters?

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??

coaching a mixture of young and mature women

i have a question relating to finding a teams gel. i have an equal amount of younger and abit older women. i find the older women are keen to make trainings and comunicate well with me. and the younger are not so keen to learn and are harder to comunicate with. the younger girls are just out of reach of being in the other bracket of players. i would like to see them advance their status of player. especially being young they could really get there if they would only listern with an open mind and at least allow themselves to learn something new. and the older women of my team are harder to teach as they say its hard to teach an old dog new tricks. any surgestions please?

How to train a group ranging from U9s to U16 year olds?

How does a coach keep training sessions fun, complex, educational and entertaining enough to keep the older girls interested and for the younger girls to keep up? And some training sessions have less than 10 girls (easy to handle) and some can have maybe over 30. Only ONE of these teams (a group of 9) are mine and the other 20-odd are from at least 4 other teams in the club.

What are some good warm up drills?

What are some good warm up drills that could be used with a group of approximately 20-30 girls? I need to make sure they are all doing something otherwise they get distracted and lose their concentration.

Planning a training session for large group numbers?

I will be regularly coaching a group of Back to Netball ladies (aged 16 plus) and have been told that there are approx. 30 signed up (prob end up with 20 regulars). I have a session planned for them tonight as a starter for ten but I am conscious that with such numbers when it comes to court time at the end of a session e.g. game time some won't be able to participate on court. For tonight (and partly because I'm told these ladies are new to netball) I'm going to be getting those sat off court to do some observation of basic rules e.g. give each a card with a rule on it and see if they spot anything during the game play. Some can also help with scoring. Then I'm having people subbed on and off every 5 mins so all get some game time. Are there any other suggestions from people about managing such a large group with just one court available? The rest of the session is fine as they can all join in the warm up, skills sessions and warm down.

Building Trust and Rapport with 14-16 yr old group

I am due to take over from a long established coach at a club taking the 14-16 yr old category. I've been helping out and taking half the session for a few weeks now and come Sept the other coach will step back and leave it to me most weeks. The group is mixed ability with up 20-30 coming each week to an hour long session. Some do play in league games and a number come for the social aspect. One thing I have noticed is that I sometimes struggle to get them to listen and carry out instructions properly. I also think there is a bit of testing on their part as I am new and they want to see what they can get away with! Any tips for building up a bit more trust and rapport with the group? I think my lesser experience comes through at times (have been a coach for 2 years now and mainly taken ladies groups who are at a lower level player wise).

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
