I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
What are the best passes when playing against tall players. Beside the bounce pass
What do you do if the opposing team are all tall? This is the first team I have coached netball and so far we have been doing well, but the girls that I coach were playing on the weekend and played a team that were extremely tall. They found it very hard to pass to one another as not only the opposing team tall but very quick. Would you suggest bounce passes? Please help. These girls are only 11 year olds. Thanks
How do you train to get past a zone defence. Kind regards Madeleine
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?
Can someone please advise me on where can I locate sound information on court systems? Thanks. Wendy
best way to teach defending a lob pass. My girls are very short so opposing teams constantly lob.
What key coaching points are there to be remembered in intercepting?
How to get players to think about position on court and timing
I. got a very good under 15 team. We are in a situation where we only practise once then we go and play against other provinces so if anyone can give me any good stragies to use in a game to outplay the other teams I will apreciate it. My team is very fast leaners and they concentrate very good.
coaching u13s have 6 good players and 2 that this their first season.For this first half of the season most of their training has been catching and throwing .I find that they are not improving so on game days the other players are reluctant to pass it to them as they either drop the ball or pass it to the opposition.I am struggling to know what to do
My WD has worked hard on getting her placement so when the ball is feeding into the circle, she is keeping her WA away and to the side, generally the WA is fed an overhead ball heading towards the the back corner. The WD knows what pass is coming, and it's placement, she feels confident she could challenge more, so need some drills to practise holding her player, but then moving round her opponent at the last moment to try and go for the ball as well as holding.
Could enlighten me on some helpful tips or tricks on passes to the "D" and within between the mid court to the shooters. Also on some drills regarding their footwork since that was one of the weaknesses that we found. Mistake on stepping and not being able to maintain balance.
what should i do to make them better
Need ideas to build strength in passes for 11yo
Hi, have a short GS in Rep. She has practiced and applied lots of strategies including holding, clearing out and reoffering, dodging and popping in space right in front of defence to take pass, triangles, holding and turning. She has to work super hard because of her lack of height against much taller defences. For the most part, she does really well, however there are still times when she seems to get stuck doing a little sideways dance behind the GK when she comes across a GK who is particularly good at holding front position, shadowing and anticipating the dodge. Does anyway have any suggestions? I am wondering if telling her to change her starting position in the circle, slightly to one side of the circle when the ball is on it''s way down to give her a definite space to drive to and then create doubt by sometimes driving out and sometimes driving back? Would love some ideas to try.
how can I help ma players, there are starting but there are students of secondary schools and I want them to join the team because of there height and they alms like the game but problem is ball handling they can not catch hard pass so , help me coaches so that next year I come with a trophy of my district and national championship Ball game 2 or fresh dairy games. thanks your's faithfully coach sam Uganda
Hi I am a first year coach of a 9 and under team.My girls are struggling with the concept of running to space and receiving a pass on the move while advancing the ball to our attacking third.It seems no matter how hard i try to implement drills for passing at practice, come game day the girls still group together and call for the ball standing still. Any ideas/drills anyone could suggest would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark

Why do interceptions fail, ie. what makes an interception successful and what makes an interception unsuccessful?
Create a resolution to develop your coaching confidence by seizing the opportunity to discover new drills, turn ideas into action and seek advice from the coaching community.
