How can I teach my daughter to jump?

My Daughter is currently playing netball two times a week and training once plus some work at school in other sports,she is twelve years of age but is taller than some of the other girls but they are now catching up but my daughter does not know how to jump because she has been taller.How can I get her to change this through a training routine?She is a good player and I suspect she could be a lot better if she improved her fitness but I am loath to push her developing body.Any suggestions please?

Advice on becoming a better GA

Hi, I am a 13 year old girl who plays netball every Saturday. I have been playing netball as a centre since I was about 9 yrs old. When I moved teams I changed to GA cause they needed a GA. I had also been playing basketball so when I moved into GA I shot like a basketballer. I only just recently started trying to shoot like a netballer, but it is't really working. Our GS is usually the player that shoots most of our goals but she broke 2 fingers and is out for the finals. I need some advice to help me to be a better GA and step up a shoot lots of goals to see our team go into the grand final.I need help learning to shoot better but my coach is young and plays defence. p.s. I am the only other shooter in my team.

How do I make my GK get into the game more?

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

Two weak U13 players in my team are not improving. What can I do?

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

Trouble with GS and leading!?

I have a GS in my under 11 accosiation team, meaning she has been chosen out of many girls to play in this team. She just looks like she is off with the fairies every game, doesnt pay attention at all. My two main issues is she doesnt lead forward and when defenders get rebounds she doesnt turn into a defender instead she just stays back at post. I have tried getting her out in GA for a run to help with her leading but its even worse. I have tried explaining to her and showing her even getting her to watch the older girls. Nothing seems to work. An official told me try her in WA to get her leading downpacked but my mid court players are amazing. I dont know what to do! Help please

How to defend Tall goal shooters

How to defend tall goal shooter and tall goal attack

Brad Sorrell Coach, Australia

I have no goal shooter only goal keepers. Please help...

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.
