I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
How do we get taller girls to jump?
I need some drills to help 8-10 year olds with footwork and ball skills what would you suggest
What are some good ways of keeping players with their eyes up and on the ball, and also some ways of helping with their body angles Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
I would like to do a fun session with my 17 year old as we are at the bottom of the ladder and will not make finals now.
Hi,We're halfway through the competition and our team was undefeated. Secretly we were already thinking of playing in the finals. We've just learned that our District has upgraded us to the next higher grade. We'll be at such a disadvantage not knowing any of the teams. Also all the teams in our previous grade had byes and so we've played 5 games and had 1 bye. The teams in our new grade have had no byes and have played 6 games. So the next team up (also undefeated) has 18 points but we have 15 points. Seems an unfair advantage to me. Is there a way to adjust for the bye we've had?Lastly, our next game is against the team that is at the top of the ladder. What can we do to be as best prepared as we can be? Many thanks in advance!
We are thinking of updating the way we get info to and from our players and parents. Do any of your clubs use apps or Facebook twitter etc/ Any recommendations????? thanks Betty
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).
Is there any ideas to make it fun and effective?Is there someone who has a nice obstacle course for me?

I only have one tall player in my team the rest is very short, I struggle at the defender block
can 10 mins of skipping every day improve your agility and help you get faster feet? will it improve your netball playing?
If you have a short defender how can they best defend a tall GS or GA
how can defender defend if she is in correct distance?
as a player, my biggest flaw is my obstructions when I'm marking. I know about checking my feet before I put my arms up, but does anyone have any other tips on putting pressure especially when the opponent is taking a shot?
The girls I coach have just made it into their first grand final against a top-of-the-ladder, undefeated team. I know they have the skills to beat them, but I'm scared that the pressure will get to them, especially since they've never played a granny before. what do I do/say before the game to get them in the right headspace to play?
I need drills for shooters - not a group 1 player
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?

how do I get my girls to defend tall players. We are playing a team tomorrow in the grand final and they are all so tall the ball just goes over my girls head??. Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
How do we get taller girls to jump?
in more ways than one
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
The short pass is being penalised more consistently in 2026. Here's how to train proper passing technique and eliminate hand-offs under pressure.
No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
