I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Does anyone have any good drills for defending an over head feed into the circle?
Hi I am a first year coach of a 9 and under team.My girls are struggling with the concept of running to space and receiving a pass on the move while advancing the ball to our attacking third.It seems no matter how hard i try to implement drills for passing at practice, come game day the girls still group together and call for the ball standing still. Any ideas/drills anyone could suggest would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark

Is there a system for rotating 9 girls through each position fairly each week
The 163cm defender is great against regular height girls her age (ie 13) but I need some help with the tall girls (185 cm +). She jumps really well and is constantly with the player. She reads the play well but it is almost soul destroying to see the opposition lob the ball into the tall girl who stands and waits for the shot.

HiWe have our U16's trials coming up. I haven't coached or selected this age group as yet. What would you look at in ability and skill level for U16's?
Our girls must rotate positions each quarter and then by the end of the season they must have played a set amount of quarters in each position as instructed by our Association. Our team has 9 players so 1 player will get a "full" game each week and two players sit on the bench each quarter. Does anyone have an excel spread sheet they use to help them keep track?
Hi, I'm co-coaching an U13 team. The players are a mix of experienced, but mostly inexperienced players, with a couple of players who are really talented (these are two of our inexperienced players). All players are new to each other. The girls won every game at the district grading days and we were upgraded two levels. We are now in round 6 of the competition and the girls have lost every game and we just lost from the team that was below them on the ladder. We've had a couple of injuries and one was quite bad in round 4 requiring surgery which has shaken the girls as well. They are starting to lose heart and their game is deteriorating. How do we keep them motivated?
Any ideas on how to teach a senior team to cherish and convert turnover balls they create?
I am coaching a Year 2 netball team for the first time. Unfortunately, during games sometimes the ball naturally spends quite a bit of time down one end of the court. One child is losing enthusiasm as a result. Any suggestions to keep them enthusiastic when this happens? We rotate players at least each half and all get to play an equal amount in each position per Netta rules.
