Suitable time frame to do a drill at training?

In an hour and a half training session, I want to cover 2 to 3 defence drills, 2-3 attacking drills and also have stations set up for goalies, mid court and defence to do a drill specific to each. How long should I allow for each drill, and still fit in the hour and a half training?

Suggested set plays for youngsters

I like the idea of teaching set plays to stop my girls swarming the ball, but wasn't sure what set plays to use! Are there any on this site or can anyone share their favourite easy ones for 8/9 yo's

Help to slow down-Hot Potato!

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?

Tips for new centres

Hi Everyone I've been playing defence for a long time now, and only last Saturday did I start to play centre. It was during our warm up on that day, (before our game) when my coach told me that I would be playing centre. I agreed to do it, but the problem was that the other team was a really good and very fit team. I struggled a lot durig the game, and i felt like i was dying the whole time! Also because I had never played centre before I didn't know how to feed the ball into the goal circle. I also don't know how to defend on the goal circle. Also what is the centres main job?Thanks so much for all the help! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Shooter taking long shots all the time, how to change it?

Hi,I am finding it really difficult to get one of my shooters out the habit of trying to shoot every shot from the outer edge of the circle with not a very good success rate. She doesn't seem to see or want to understand that a pass would be more beneficial, has anyone had similar issues or have any suggestions to get rid of this attitude and mindset. Thanks In advance Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Under 8's coaching where do I start?

Hi, this is my first season coaching and I have an U8 team. Half the girls played last season and half the girls are new to the game. Where do I start? It looks like there is a great beginner coaching pack available but I am not sure if it would work for the little ones.

confidence with shooting

I coach a player who practices shooting basically every day but cannot get them in when she is playing. The problem isn't to do with her technique but rather her confidence in her abilities is lacking. How can I build her confidence?

What I do with players lagging...

I coach a year 6 team, half of the girls are quite competitive and gave played together for a few years. I have two girls who are playing their second year with my team and I am struggling progressing these girls... They both don't seem to have any idea on court for it being their second year.. There is only so much I can do in an hour training session when I have to accomodate the rest of the team.. Any suggestions on what I should do with these two girls? I have provided them with printed information on positions and court placement for "study".. Should I put some responsibility back on the parents?

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
