Netball: high performance

I am trying to set up a netball academy at a sixth form college. I am looking for ideas, suggestions on how to start this and develop the scheme within the college. Has anyone got any pointers?

I am about to take my netball team to the NSW State Age Championships where they will be playing around 19 games over 3 days. Does anyone have any tips and suggestions about nutrition and fluid intake? Cheers.

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

I had a netball game on Saturday and i slept around 10 pm the night before. When I woke up i felt sleepy, and not energized. I think i was slow on my feet when it came to the game. I did not play at my usual level of performance. can lack of sleep affect performance in netball? should i sleep earlier next time? BTW, my game was at 8:30 am so I had to wake up at 6 am.thanks.

I need a high performance training session for netball players. Can you assist?

how can I improve my goal accuracy

I'm 12 years old and have been playing netball for 3 years now but how do I go pro?I do netball 4 times a week and try to keep fit. I enjoy netball and I'm good at it but I want to play for England but don't know how to get there. I play for a Bedfordshire Academy and always put in effort when training and when doing matches. Which path do I take to play for England one day.Thank you (GK/GD

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.

Hi All,I have had a few (4) new additions to my squad, all of which are of a high County/NPL junior level. I am seeing resentment from existing players as they move "down the peckig order". Im after any suggestions on how to manage this correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Age group U14s.

Hi Everyone - anyone got any tips for motivational chats before big games and at half time? My team are 2nd on the ladder but can lose their bundle when faced with tough opponents or rain. We're in the last round of the season and going to make the finals,...any tips for motivational chats. Girls are Juniors, between 2 and 4 seasons of experience and of average ability in a middle grade (none of them will play for Australia but they generally try hard and love the game).

what does having good muscular endurance do for you?

How do you advise your team as Coach when they come up against a rough and agressive team?  What is the best way to cope with rough play. Thanks

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 

I am having trouble with one of my players who is a very valuable mid court player, yet obseses about wanting to play GS, not only is she the shortest in the team but when she has played GS she struggles to get in front to receive the ball. No matter how much I explain that the mid court is where she needs to be she wont let it up & even has a nasty attitude towards other players. I have very good shooters in the team, how do I explain without upsetting her but in a way that will get through to her that shooting is not for her this season??

Lately my players have been passing to the other team. Their timing is off and their play is way to fast down court.

Hi everyone, Starting of the netball season... what awards to you give the players on your team at the end of the game. i need some suggestions Im stuck. Thanks
