I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Does anyone have a drill to encourage under 11's to come forward for a pass rather than asking for the overhead pass all the time as they are 'running away' from the ball in their haste to get to the circle?
Hi, what do people think about defences "zoning" - keeping their attacking player (GA or GS) out of the circle? I notice not many teams use this strategy. Thank you.
Any good drill ideas for just one person.... I'm a shooter but I don't have any access to a net? I would love a good drill that improves my accuracy at shooting! Any other drills for one person would be great though!
So i'm coaching a group of year 8 students who have little knowledge about netball and the skill i have to teach is positional play and i have no idea what to do as a practice drill and modified game ?
Because my co-coach and I are only 15/16 years old, we are only a few years older than the girls we coach (who are 11-12). This is useful in our ability to relate, but is not when we are trying to be serious and get a point across. We tend to joke around a bit at training in order to make them as enjoyable as possible, but as soon as we try to be serious, the girls assume we are telling them off and sometimes get upset. We have already had parent issues in relation to positions, so we do not want anymore complaints from the parents or girls. If anyone has advice it would be much appreciated, thanks.
I need help, I can't figure out any cone drills or warm ups. Mainly looking towards footwork, fitness and changing direction.
I'm looking for specific drill (attack & defense) for the Centre position. This is what I play and need all the skills to tactically assist my game.
How would I go about teaching a really short girl basic defence? I need to put her in WD most games and she needs to know how to intercept.
Hi the drill I'm after was on a bonus session: netball conditioning-change on direction the drill is called square Running
What drills or training can you give goalers to do so their goals convert each time they shoot in netball?
I'm a coach for an under 11s teams, at the moment I'm doing basic drills to make them understand footwork, marking and passing,etc. But I think they get bored doing those drill so how do I motivate them and get them to be enthusiastic and have fun about the sport but also they can learn?
How do you teach man on man defence with 13yr olds? I have some really good defenders but they struggle to try and stay side on their player watching ball and player. I would like a drill that would help enforce this type of defence. Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I'm in desperate need of a drill for clearing space on a game, and a real good shooting drill please!! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I coach a high level u7-8s team, overall they are well rounded players who get the idea of a drill very quickly so I'm not scared to try harder drills. But I'm stuck in getting them to get back their 3ft to be able defend without getting pulled up. I've tried putting dots on the ground away from transverse lines and getting them to jump back. Any other ideas??

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?
I'm a fast runner and keep getting pulled for footwork as I'm catching the ball whilst running. How can I train myself to jump for the ball?
