I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
What drills should I do on the first training session for everyone to get to know each other? The girls I'm coaching are in year 3 and 4.
when i asked my team (13 yr olds) what they thought they need to improve on, one of their answers was communication. what is an easy way to teach them to communicate with each other during the game?
My team has girls from 12-14 who step and get pulled up all the time. They have been playing for years but can't stop stepping. Does anyone have any drills that might help
Hi I am wanting to do a drill with my girls (8 & 9 yr old first timers) to get them to watch the ball (also have a deaf child who will be in WD this week and she is having trouble getting the girls attentions both in attack and in defence) wanting to get them to focus on the ball and possesion rather than mum on the side lines. was thinking something like a hot potato but any other ideas for fun games that are visual rather than sound orientated. Any suggestions?? %3A)
I have found that my players worked well as a group and also really enjoyed a Quiz about Netball (both rules and history of netball in general)but I have run out of questions, I usually only finish our training sessions with one question for each member of our team and use any the following week that they got wrong so they are learning at the same time. If you have any ideas please let me know as I have searched the web and every other resource I can find, Some of the questions I have used are How many seconds can you hold the ball? How far away do you need to be before arms go up to defend? How is a short pass measured? Where does a ball need to be touched first after a centre pass? Name 2 examples of Good spartsmanship? Name the 7 Positions in a Netball Game How many players on a Netball court during a Game? (trick question, usually andswered with 7, keeps them on their toes) In which Country did netball begin? What is the Name of the Australian Netball Team? What time do we turn up for a Game on Saturdays? If you land on 2 feet while catching the ball, which foot can you pivot on? PLease help, I need more questions, we still have a long year ahead %3A) Thanks

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?
Just briefly, a player in my team is having some problems with bullying online, but does not wish for me or her parents to know. one of the other players is aware of this and has informed me of the situation. without being too involved i just told the player who told me to keep tabs on the situation incase it gets worse. I understand as a coach, i have a recponcibility towards my players welfare but at the same time i want them to be able to trust me.. im 19, and my question is, as some of you are older adults, what would you do?my girls are U13s
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.

I am Father coaching my Daughters Netball Team & I wanted to use a different set up when Taking the Centre Pass to Start ,so I need to know where the GA,WA,WD & GD are allowed to stand when a Centre pass is being taken?DO they need to stand at the line as normal or can I change it up a bit?-Say one player up at line in the very centre of line and one player standing or running around behind in the centre of their Third?? Any help with this idea would be greatly appreciated...& thanks in advance

Hi I'm all new to Netball and coaching under 9's. We have 10 aside. Can anyone help in the best way to do a rotation form.At them moment I have a list with names and positions then each week I just move the name down to the next position so they play that position for the entire game and the resting players alternate eg with C or WD or GK each quarter. Are they the main positions to rotate with? Thank you for your time.
