I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
My Goal Shoot is a tall girl but will not move in front of the defender to get the ball, it is as if she to scared to! She ALWAYS stands behind her partner does anyone have coaching tips to help me? Thanks Sam
What do you do if the opposing team are all tall? This is the first team I have coached netball and so far we have been doing well, but the girls that I coach were playing on the weekend and played a team that were extremely tall. They found it very hard to pass to one another as not only the opposing team tall but very quick. Would you suggest bounce passes? Please help. These girls are only 11 year olds. Thanks

coaching u13s have 6 good players and 2 that this their first season.For this first half of the season most of their training has been catching and throwing .I find that they are not improving so on game days the other players are reluctant to pass it to them as they either drop the ball or pass it to the opposition.I am struggling to know what to do
I'm coaching the very young team yr 1-3 age 6-9 and was wondering what's the best drills to teach them ball skills passing quick and basic rules? Thanks Mikaela
how to make a strong pass and shot
I just wanted some help planning a netball practice for 8 year old girls - about 1/2 - 45 minutes - the girls are just starting out
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?
I need a high performance training session for netball players. Can you assist?
I'm coaching a team for the first time on my own this year. So my question is what do I start with and include in the first training session? They are 13 year olds and I'm unaware of the ability.
Can a bounce pass from a short distance between two players be penalized for a short pass?
How to defend a bounce pass?
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
i am confused about shoulder pass being a closed skill or an open skill.
I coach 10 and 11 year olds that need quite a bit of work. They still need to build their upper body strength and passing accuracy. I am teaching them to use chest passes as the pass that they should use the majority of the time and use shoulder passes for longer range passes. I find that their shoulder passes are weak and not accurate, but something we are working on progressively. We have an umpire that constantly yells at the kids and demands that they use shoulder passes all of the time and has told me that I am coaching them wrong and that I don't know what I am doing. What are your thoughts on this? I do the best I can as a volunteer coach.
Hi, Would like some advice as to how to defend or intercept bounce passes in the circle. Thank you. Anne
Lately my players have been passing to the other team. Their timing is off and their play is way to fast down court.
Hi, I have a player who is coming back to netball after not having played since she was 12 years old (now 18). I want her to develop her throwing arm as her shoulder pass is quite weak. Apart from throwing the ball back and forth at home, are there any specific exercises I can get her to do?
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?
