I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Ask a question and have it answered by Coaches from around the world and Sportplan's team of Experts.
Serial steppers at 14 years old, how do I stop this terrible habit? Half my team step and have been playing for many years.
What drills are there to help stop 10 year olds from stepping
i have been set a task to come up with a 6 week training program for a netball player, with the main aim to increase their endurance levels. i have planned for 3 sessions per week resulting in 18 sessions all together and i was wondering what sort of drills are appropriate to use so that there is a noticeable increase in endurance levels without having to make the player just literally run around for 40 mins a session. please help??
hey i hurt my foot playing netball i roll on one side as i was landing. The doctor said all i had done was torn some tissue. But they didn't tell if i can play on the weekend and train on Wednesday. Can i?
need help with a workshop/clinic (warm-up ect)
Hi I have coached the same team for 3 years and they are now under 11"s....I have always tried to mix it up and do something different every session to keep the girls interested, but I feel as though we all get a bit lost in trying to keep it different... I would like to have a basic foot skill "routine" and drills that we do every session, so basic skills become second nature. I would then add a different skill session and fun game each week....Is there any experienced coaches out there that do this or does it create too much boredom doing the same thing each week?
Hi I coach a great team of under 9s and when we do a driving drill we start with "pitter patter feet" (like a very fast low jog on spot) then when i say GO they drive forward. However a lot of them step back with their foot then drive forward. Any tricks out there to get just going forward? Is it just the foot they start on like the strong foot? Or something else?
What are some good warms for an individual? Please reply before tomorrow
I've come up with a one hour session for a Back to Netball group of ladies focussing on change of direction and I would be grateful for any feedback on this session! Any you would change/add? I'm currently training to become a coach so any feedback is much appreciated.
I need help, I can't figure out any cone drills or warm ups. Mainly looking towards footwork, fitness and changing direction.
Describe the appropriate trainning programmes for physical fitness improvements in netball
Can anyone suggest a fun warm up for a group of skilled 14-15yr olds please.Thanks!
I need some training tips to help girls with landing and foot work?
my coach put my team into a higher division to play in the Twilight competition. I used to play amazing when i played in my own level, but now since i am versing higher teams, my performance is really bad. i keep on getting tired, which then leaves me to not be able to get free, defend, pass or jump to get the rebounds. it is really annoying, because my mum does not seem to understand why i am so bad now, and she yells at me all the time. i tried telling her that she has to be supportive instead of criticising me because she has no idea why i'm playing bad, but she just gets even more mad! we don't have proper training because our coach is too busy, so we have a players mum.Her training is not the same as my coach's.please help, i don't know what to do!
Can someone run through the best warm up stretches to do and should they be done prior to or after cardio warm up? This is for kids netball (10 and under)
