I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I am new to coaching this year and have a couple of girls who struggle to catch the ball despite 3 yrs of playing. One is quite scared and the other does not have good gross motor skills. Any suggestions on drills or games to improve these?
How do you beat a player that is blocking/face defending an attacker who is finding it hard to get free? Particularly when they are trying to go forward into the space for the ball.
Need ideas to build strength in passes for 11yo
I have a young player who is 5-6 and her first year. She is very scared of catching the ball, she closes her eyes and turns away. I have shown her correct hand position and called her hands her super heroes and they will protect her. I have shown that if she has her hands and arms in the right position the ball will not hit her. I have tried using bean bags (might go back to this).What else can I do to help her. She is so sweet and I don't want her singled out in drills if she can't catch.I'd love some help on this
Is it best to take a full squad of 10 or just 8 of that squad? Do you rotate each week or during the game? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
Im coaching yr 8 (12 yr old) netball, is this too young to be putting forward the best team each week? I try to get every girl playing at least 1 half game per week and there are 9 players in the team
I organise a ladies netball group of varying abilities but mostly beginners. Despite constantly telling them to slow their play down, they are determined to pass the pall on as soon as its in their hands often resulting in sloppy passing. Any suggestions on how to slow the pace down and hopefully, improve their passing?
how can i get stronger arms, apart from doing push ups for passing the ball better and quicker?
Would like to know a set play in how to beat a wall zone in the centre.
Defence stop the attack from hitting top of the circle - any drills to combat that in the attacks favour?
Our goal shooter's goals have been circling the inside of the goal rim and popping out. Is there anything we can work on with technique to avoid this?
HI EveryoneI recently switched from GK AND GD, to WA. I'm finding it difficult to feed the ball into the circle and having confidence in my passing accuracy. I'm also having trouble on getting free for centre pass, especially when the other team has a really good WD. I've only played WA a couple of times so I'm still learning, but I really don't want to let my team down. Thanks all, for the help!
Hi, I have a player who is coming back to netball after not having played since she was 12 years old (now 18). I want her to develop her throwing arm as her shoulder pass is quite weak. Apart from throwing the ball back and forth at home, are there any specific exercises I can get her to do?
Hi everyone, I'm a GS/GA and I shoot well but I struggle to make opportunities for myself to shoot in games. It is slightly better when I play GS if i stay in the circle, but when I play GA or come out, it has happened that I haven't shot at all. I either get blocked from going in the circle straight away or am too slow to position myself. Could anyone give me some pointers about basic movement? I have watching videos where players roll/cut - if a player is marking you face on and blocking you from entering the D, would that be how I get around them? Could you give me some advice on how to improve from here? Thank you. Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
I want to cancel my nembership and not able to do so. Hit cancel and then continue button not working.
In the circle when shooter keeps splitting to get closer and continues to hit the defender in the ankle with their split foot is this ok? I've heard many times that you need to give the player space to land but this player just keeps splitting and actually hitting me in the ankle with their foot because I don't even have time to move :(
Playing ball off post from back line pass
Want to check that If the ball hits the ball net can they catch and try again and if it misses hitting the net they have to leave for another person to catch
I had someone ask me if you are allowed to do this in a game. I thought if it was accidental it was ok but if it's on purpose and something they do regularly that shouldn't be allowed. What are the rules on this? Thank you.
we had two different umpire opinion's last game about the defender placing her hand on the ball to prevent the shooter from being able to shoot.one umpire stated this was contact and that the defender is not allowed to do this, but the other umpire stated that as the defender was the required 3 feet away she can place her hand on the ball
