I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
What is the best age for girls to start netball training?Submitted by email
I have just started coaching 20 9year olds at my daughters school. 18 of them havn't played any netball. I have started teaching them the basic ball handling skills, shooting and we are working on the rules. I have limited time to get them ready for their first game due to alot of our training days falling on public holidays. We had our first mini game at training last week and it was ciaos. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can try and teaching them the rules while having a mock game without a mass of confusion??
Who can send me an example of a training session for a A3 team where the training lasts 1 hours from warn up to warm down
Do you have a drill for 8 year olds to teach them how to get closer to the goal?
This year I was given the u/10 and u/11 netball girls to coach but none of them has ever played netball where do I start
I am trying to find a video of this skill to show players how to pass around strong over the ball long arm defence to avoid getting the pass deflected. Any links or ideas?
I have an U10 team playing in Div 1, we are doing well coming 2nd in the comp. The problem i have is I have 8,9 and 10 year olds in the team as we are a small club. I am looking for Drills to cater all age groups and the girls abilities/skills. There are girls who play beyond their ages, and then girls who cannot catch or throw a ball, (basically 6 of the 9 players cannot do both). They have improved, but i find the skilled players are getting frustrated as there are alot of turnovers due to basic errors, bad passes, stepping, offside etc....any advice would be appreciated.Thanks
During my class session, few of my students are poor in lob passing. Their technique of passing is wrong. How can I improve their lob passing skill, with an interesting games approach?
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
I have been asked to help select college senior and junior teams. I have never done this before so would appreciate ANY advice. I don't think the teams for the trial games have been set up yet. What's the best way to do this?
I have just taken on a 4/5 beginner netball team. Any advice on where to begin?
I'm due to start coaching some 6-12yr olds in February (have a meeting ahead of that in a week). At the moment I don't have any idea about abilites or previous experience but plan to ask about that next week, though I am guessing it won't be much, especially the younger ones. At the same time, I will be hepling to mentor some new coaches to help them progress (they will be Level 1 so assistant level in England). Any good tips for starting points? I have 12 weeks with them (all 1 hour sessions). My thoughts were to start with things like basic techniques for passing and getting footwork correct before moving onto attacking and defending principles as well as making sure there are plenty of fun games they can take part in.
How should i prepare myself for the semi finals? we are versing a team that is well matched and we have versed them before. we won, but only by 2 goals and apparently that team was having a bad day. i'm super nervous, and want to be ready for the game.what kind of training should i do at home? we don't have a lot of space outside and we don't have any equipment e.g ladders, cones etc. i so desperately want to win and get into the grand final. but i also have exams coming up, so i need to balance my time.thanks for your help!

Lately my players have been passing to the other team. Their timing is off and their play is way to fast down court.
In a netball game, can you pass the netball backwards?
