I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
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?
id love some advice on any sytems for shooters in the ring. thanks %3A)
If GK is doing a back line throw-in passed the ring at the corner or corner side, how should GD and GK set up, we looked lost on Saturday??
Hi, has anyone got any good drills for ensuring players keep watching the ball?! the defense have worked a lot on their marking,body postions/footwork etc but often when the ball is inside the circle they are so busy watching their player their heads drop slightly and they forget about the ball!! i've tried periphiral vision drill on here but doesnt seem to be sinking in in matches esp if against quick shooters! any tips would be great! %3A)
what is the best way for a netball goalkeeper to defend ?
Hi, what do people think about defences "zoning" - keeping their attacking player (GA or GS) out of the circle? I notice not many teams use this strategy. Thank you.

I need help on getting the girls moving and rotating within the ring, whats the best drill i can use to try get this happening? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I like the idea of teaching set plays to stop my girls swarming the ball, but wasn't sure what set plays to use! Are there any on this site or can anyone share their favourite easy ones for 8/9 yo's
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
ive noticed that i can shoot very well on my netball ring at home but i cannot shoot very well anywhere else. I dont know why this is and i was wondering if anyone could help me?
Tonight we played a team where the GD stood right in front of the GS or GA. He had his back to the shooter(with the ball), he didn't put up an arm but he stood so close (without touching) that the shooter couldn't get any leverage with her shot. If the shooter stepped back he shuffled with her. The umpires didn't pull it up at all. Is this allowed or do they have to be three feet away? Any feedback would be much appreciated, I would just like to know if this is allowed or is it obstruction? Thanks
Can the GD/GK stand close behind - within 3 feet of - the GS/GA while they are shooting and so effectively prevent them from stepping back to a more comfortable position (e.g. when they are directly under the ring)? If not, which rule prevents this?
What is the best way to teach a new girl how to shoot a goal? Is it 2 handed with ball above the head and arms stretched up?
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
We currently use standard plays, but looking for different movements to make when a centre pass has been made.
I coach and under 13 girls team and having only 7 players, I am unable to continually swap and change my players. I have two set players that play GD and GK, however, as much as I have tried they do not work together. There isn't an issue with them personally, I just don't think they understand they need to work together. I am just after some sort of different approach to teaching them to work together than what I have tried. I have tried teaching them to work together to defend the space in the ring, and also to talk to each other and call swaps, double team a player etc..
