I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I am coaching Under 13's (girls aged from 8 - 12) just wondering what the best way to get them to move into space and not crowd would be.
Does anyone have any exercises or drills to stop an entire team of girls from passing the ball to the defenders instead of their own team mates...? THey can all throw a pass to each other in training, I've tried adding pressure situations where they have defenders to evade to replicate the real game but in games they cannot seem to get it together...help!
Does anyone have any good drills for defending an over head feed into the circle?
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
What's the best way to mark shooter who feeds right in or steps in? Shooter passes back and forth to feeders, then if you come aroun, she steps in. Being on side allows her to step in. If she steps in & I've got my 3ft and she touches me, is this a contact on her part?
We need to practice our goal line throw as an attacking thrown because ares is getting intercepted is there any pointers we can use
My junior squads tend to ask for a ball to be passed to them, even when there is a defender nearby-often resulting in interceptions. I have tried playing bounce pass only games which works really well, just wondered if anyone had any other ideas I could try ?
They are such a good team (under 12's), with so much potential, but we struggle against the top 2 teams as their defense is amazing and my girls struggle to get free, which then really disheartens them. I'm a first time coach, so its still a learning experience for me.
I have a tall girl who is a great shooter, but she struggles in getting free for the ball. Can you suggest any drills to help her with this.
Can anyone suggest a drill to practise holding defence in circle for lob pass?
Hi there.I am looking for a session to help me with my 9 year olds to teach them to find space on the court. At this point the ball is a chip and they are the hungry sea gulls squawking for it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Whats a good drill to help with coming infront of their partners instead of the immediate thought of dropping back for a pass?
What is the best way to defend the shooter who after faking a shot turns to WA or c on circle edge, passes out, takes a step nearer to the post and receives return pass either once or several times?
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?
How does a team defend against opposition that pass into space extremely well. I teach my girls to stay in front of player as a defender but their passing is extremely on point and very difficult to intercept. Can you give me some suggestions.
How to get my players to create space. They are under 14's and not all play club. aAt times they crowd or fall over each other.
Hello all, I have been coaching my u10's currently for 2 years now. They are a fabulous little team i.e. gs holds and defence box out etc however we are never winning games! They are currently playing up a year and after sitting back and watching what is going wrong I had noticed they all seem to be in one area so no-one can drive into a space to receive a direct fast ball. When this occasionally does happen the ball is not released fast enough and consequently intercepted! I was wondering if anyone has an tips on space, driving into space, and early passes! This team could be amazing if we sort this is out! Please help!!!!!!!!!

Would like some advice as to how to coach defenders to defend a shooter who holds to protect space? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Lately my players have been passing to the other team. Their timing is off and their play is way to fast down court.
