I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I have an attacking goal defender and every time she manages to intercept the ball she gets pulled up for contact whether she has contacted or not. I dont want to change her style of play. what can I do to help her in this situation.
How do you advise your team as Coach when they come up against a rough and agressive team? What is the best way to cope with rough play. Thanks
Ok i played on the weekend in 2 places i hate and never have played usally. I usally play WA. But my coach put me in GD and GK she was amazed of how well i was in GD so she put me there for the next quater then she moved me to GK and i was also good at that. Seeing as i am usally a WA i move away from the player it sort of helped at times then i my teams remind me that i was meant to be defending. I am not that good at defending so what are some tips to play in GD and DK because my coach told me i am playing there this weekend
if you are working in the D and intercepting high balls into the GS/GA would this type of defending be classed as stage 2?
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 defenders often loose focus and try to concentrate on too much. They watch the ball, their player, where the post is, our player, there wings, put up wrong arms, run past player etc. Our drills are spot on, and training is generally very good, but when we get into a game they loose confidence, panic and and look like they are being turned inside out. They are 15/un Open.
I'm looking for specific drill (attack & defense) for the Centre position. This is what I play and need all the skills to tactically assist my game.
I teach a good group of Under 10's. They are doing well but there are a few who need to read the play. They throw directly to the player and passes are being intercepted. This is happening when we my defenders are attacking. They have great defense but do not get it out quick enough. Can anyone help? thanks
Hi all I am desperately seeking knowledge of court spacing. I am the coach of a team of 11 year olds and I don't have much playing history to speak of. The girls are still at that point where they all seem to lead for the ball and crowd the space around the ball. My problem is that I don't know the theory around who should be leading and who shouldn't be. I want to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of team play myself - who should be hanging back and who should be going for the next pass. I have done the Australian foundation coaching course but it didn't seem to cover this area. I would love to see a video of a coach teaching young players this concept. Does anyone know of any books, blogs, youtube videos that may come in handy? Thanks to all, love reading all the informative questions and answers.
How can I turn these tips into possessions, is it footwork being too slow to actually get onto the ball. or what?? Most of the tips are in defence area and centre. Love some feedback Janine
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.

HiWe have our U16's trials coming up. I haven't coached or selected this age group as yet. What would you look at in ability and skill level for U16's?
Does anyone have drills for defence for reading the play?
Whats important about defence
