I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
So i'm coaching a group of year 8 students who have little knowledge about netball and the skill i have to teach is positional play and i have no idea what to do as a practice drill and modified game ?
I have taken over coaching a 15/un open team about 8 months ago. The focus for improvement was to work on fitness. They are much fitter than when we started and now can finish off a game. There are 4 very good players and 4 average players. I need help with the attitude of one of the girls. She half-hearted takes direction, doesn't play well unless she plays in the position she wants to, constantly whispers negatives to others at training and is constantly giving us intolerable looks if she doesn't like what she hears. I could go on and on. And yes she is one of the average players. We have 3 coaches in the team and we have never come across such a rude girl. In my day you would get a ball in head if you weren't looking and listening to the coach! Please help with how we can engage this girl.
I am in my second year of coaching my daughters team made up of 12 and 13 year old girls, though I've never played Netball myself. I have learnt much through this site and have used many drills posted here to help improve their overall play, so first of all, thanks to everyone who has contributed with drills, and the Q&A sections. The team has come on in leaps and bounds, from losing every game but one in the two years previous, to making the finals last year. But the one thing that really stands out in their game play at the moment is the tendency to chase the ball, thereby bunching up and leaving no one free to pass to. Playing positions is something that I've read other coaches talk about, though I don't really understand what it means. Do I need to divide the court up from starting positions and teach the girls to try and stay in their area? If so, how do I divide the court up? Do I stop the girls during half-court practice every time they leave their area?I touched on holding positions last training session and during our last game, and said something along the lines that although they need to be available on court for intercepts and passes, they also need to trust in their team mates to cover their own given area to get the ball, but I don't really know I'm on the right track. I would really appreciate any help in this area. I don't know how to go about this at all.
Hello all. I'm usually WA in netball, but am playing GD for a new team tonight and they are playing a very advanced team who are fast! Any tips for GD as i've never played this position before so am a bit nervous. I've played GK a few times before, but they seem very different roles on court! I'm not the tallest of players either at 5ft 5". Thanks
I am finding the girls are lost on court. Some moving more around court to compensate for others. Should I teach them lines?
Any great tips for Goal Keeper position with regards to better positioning and defence?
Hi guysSo Iâm having a isssue with my GA and WA coming up way too high on our GK transitions. I keep telling the girls that they canât cross that transvers line so soon, let your teammates GK, GD, WD & C bring the ball down as your making there space crowded and making it a lot harder to for GA to get in the shooting circle. Etc etc. There trying to help way too much. Any drills I can use for this. Cheers Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
