How can I shoot against tall defence?

We're about to play a team who's GD is well over six foot! Any advice on getting the ball in the net without her intercepting? Our GS and me are fairly small.

Good one person drills?

I'm a GS playing indoor netball (ie with astroturf and nets around the court). I'm planning on trying out for superleague and state next year, and I want to get some good training in. My local centre have said I can practice there any time I want. I can practice shooting by myself, but the areas I feel I need to work on are catching quick passes, catching angled/spinning passes off the net and breaking free of different style defenders. Any ideas on how I can work on these skills by myself?

11s - Overhead passes

How is it best to teach 11's to throw over players?  I know we teach them to drive in front but there are times they need to throw over and I have found they they throw drops short.  So the pass is easily intercepted.  It is like I have spent so much time drilling to come in front when they have to throw over they can't do it.  Thx

One hand shooter

I have a shooter that shoots with one hand. She has a great strike rate, if the conditions are in her favour (ie no wind, rain or glare) The defence manage to see her and the shot from a mile away and tend to load on her. How can I or can I do to show how to protect the ball prior to a shot?

Rebekah Rankine Coach, Australia

How do I teach my defenders to jump for rebounds?

I coach U11's who seem to expect the ball to fall into their hands rather than jump for it. No matter how much I teach them, they simply don't jump!

I have a girl who never knows which foot she has landed on and then throws awkwardly rather than foot fault.

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.
