how to make my team jump for rebounds and control passes under fatigue?

Hi I am currently co-coaching our local U15A team, and I need some kind of drill that will help them to jump for rebounds both in defence and attack. I also need some kind of drill that will help the girls to pass when they are starting to show signs of fatigue; it’s not that they are unfit and can’t still run around it’s just that their passes become sloppy. Would be great if anyone can help thanks %3A)

How is the best way to defend a GS

How is the best way to defend a GS who is a foot taller than the GK and can hold faily well (and no exageration I have a very short team so putting a different defender wont change much )

How do I teach my defenders to jump for rebounds?

I coach U11's who seem to expect the ball to fall into their hands rather than jump for it. No matter how much I teach them, they simply don't jump!

Is this type of defending an advantage or disadvantage?

I play school and state netball as a GK/GD, when my other player is defending the GS or GA, I hold on to her defenders leg/hand for an extra lean. Because I'm quite larger and taller than most girls and already have a pretty good lean, when I ask my defender to hold me so that i am closer to deflecting the shot, she uses two of her hands and her body strength to hold me. My coach told me not to do this because she believed I wasn't allowing myself nor my other player to get an intercept or rebound, even though we had gotten most rebounds and had gotten a few intercepts with this technique. Is this an disadvantage or advantage to us?

How to improve goalers movement in the ring?

i coach an under 15s team and my gaolers are struggling to move in the ring. They seem only make straight leads and do not get in front. Are there any drills or advice to help my gaolers move efficiently in the ring?

Defender tipping not pulling in and looking down for the 3 feet

I have a defender who always tips the ball out, never tries to catch with 2 hands to gain possession, how do I get her out of this bad habit? The same defender always looks down to ensure she is 3 feet before putting her hands over the ball. This takes only takes a second but normally the attacker has passed the ball before she looks up.

How to defend really tall Goalies?

We have finals coming up and the GS we are playing on is 6ft 5inches and we have no way of stopping her. She is strong and gets every rebound because she can out reach all of us. The only benefit is that she can't shoot very well and she cannot jump, although it doesn't really matter since she gets the rebounds and is taller then any of us can jump

I have no goal shooter only goal keepers. Please help...

My team of 8 in junior div" is a strong defence team. I have 5 players who have only played GD and GK. I have 3 WA who are the three shortest on the team and I am using one as centre. I have one WA who has bad feet so she is in GS. She is great at getting the ball but due to height cannot get a goal or get the rebound. My other WA struggles with shooting even without pressure but can get the ball well. My GD' are alternating in WD and doing well. My only 3 players who have height are GK players. 2 are excellent, one is working on watching the ball. Should I move one of my tallest players to Ga/GS? And train them there in that role. How do I change mindset from GK to GS? Any advice Would be appreciated.

Can you have arms raised while...

Can a shooter or defender stand under the goal ring with arms raised waiting for shot to be taken if they are within 3 feet of opposition player. They are not defending the player taking the shot. eg: GA was taking shot, GD was defending the shot. GS was standing directly in front of GK with her arms raised waiting to see if shot was to be rebounded.
