I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Can someone advise on approaches to stop someone persistently stepping with the ball? It is proving almost impossible!
I am coaching a team of 14 year olds that have been playing for many years. Half my team are serial steppers, how do I stop this terrible habit?
How is it best to teach 11's to throw over players? I know we teach them to drive in front but there are times they need to throw over and I have found they they throw drops short. So the pass is easily intercepted. It is like I have spent so much time drilling to come in front when they have to throw over they can't do it. Thx
9yr old accurate shooter with 95% shooting stats shoots from chest. team has been upgraded to play 12yr olds so she needs to learn higher shooting stance as def too tall, but she is having difficulty with this and fast loosing confidence. should i pull her from shooting for awhile as she learns, what do you suggest
If you pivot on the ball of your foot and then your heel is this a legal move?
Hi all coaches - any tips on how to coach a player who is getting pulled up for "late take off" footwork - i find it difficult to explain clearly - Thanks! Alison
My centre was penalised for stepping in the centre circle - she took her centre stance and after the whistle was blown she stepped out with one foot. I didnt think a centre had a 'landing foot' at a centre pass, providing both feet are in the circle when the whistle blows, but the umpire said when she returned to the circle she put her left foot in first so that became her landing foot even though play had not been started. I told her just to stay in the circle but I would like to know if the umpire was correct or if she had it wrong
Hi all, My daughter is about to start coaching for the first time and it's expected she'll have a group of 10 years olds in C or D grade. I'm struggling to remember what her capabilities were at that age and she's looking for some suggestions for drills to start off with until she gets a handle on where they're at. Is anyone currently working with kids around that age/ability bracket? Does anyone know if any of the weekly drills are aimed at beginners/introductory levels? From the ones I'm seen, they're aimed at an intermediate level so I'm assuming some of the games would be OK, but most of the drills would be beyond their capability.Thanks in advance.
How does a defender know where to judge her 3 foot defensive stance when shooters opt for a simultaneous split landing?
when turning on the landing foot, should one turn on the heel or on the toes?
What coaching points should i use for the reverse pivot. I am do doing my linked session plans for my level 2. Thank you
I need some training tips to help girls with landing and foot work?
One of my players stalks every time she gets the ball, she doesn't have good balance, what drill apart from teaching her to slow down could I use.
How to improve you players stepping
I would like clarification regarding a rule and I can't seem to find it when going through the rule book.A pass is thrown within the field of play to another player, this player lands with one foot in the court, whilst the second landing foot lands on the sideline of the court. Is play deemed to continue, or is it deemed that the ball has gone out of play as the player has stepped in possession of the ball out of bounds.
The question is as aboveHow are you supposed to enter the center circle for the center pass, we were being pulled up and I dont know why
