I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Im looking for suggestions on set plays amp; drills for a netball carnival
Does anyone have set plays that cover all of the netball court including side and base line throw ins?
can anyone give me advice on set plays.
Does anyone know of a good drill to teach stepping around when passing the ball? I have quite a short player in my team who has trouble getting the ball round her opponents hands. We've been working on faking the pass as an alternative solution.
I have conflicting advice - don't teach too many court strategies ie C to WA to GS to GA from a centre pass as I have been told that it stiffles their thinking. But without this I find they all crowd the space and at 10yrs old it seems very difficult to get them to understand about reading who is already in that space. Or perhaps I just aren't explaining that concept well?? And also when bringing the ball through the court from a goal line throw in at our GK end - same with strategies for that. Is it okay to say GK I won't you to throw it to GD, then GD to C and so on and this is where your area of the court is and I want you to stay in that area and try and get the ball there? Keeping the WD on the otherside and making sure she doesn't cross over. Confusing over how much at this age we teach court strategies or perhaps they are know as plays. Alice P
Can someone please advise me on where can I locate sound information on court systems? Thanks. Wendy
I coach a team of U15 girls who vary in their ability. Our play from the baseline throw in is disjointed and the ball is often intercepted as a result. What is the best way to teach the girls to read each others play and operate as a smooth unit?
The lead & drive drill looks good but does not add the 2nd centre which would obviously be standing in front of the GA, with the defence either side effectively blocking the GA off from advancing forward or sideways - any suggestions?
We currently use standard plays, but looking for different movements to make when a centre pass has been made.
I'm a young coach who is coaching an 11A's team. I find it hard to identify/pick up on the problems within their play. How do you identify these problems in order to fix them? And what are some of these problems (like running flat-footed and release hieght of a pass)? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
I need a comprehensive drill for coaching channels. It's only a couple of players that don't get it (the centre and the GS/GA) but it is causing real disruption in games and forcing unecessary mistakes.
I want to teach my girls clever netball tricks,any ideas?example at the opponent's C pass my C defend their WA and GD+WD keep their GA,any other ideas?Thank you Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
What is the best way to stop crowding in junior netball? Particular drills?
How do I teach about the corridors at a junior level?
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
what would you create or arrange eg planned situations

Hi, I am considering coaching next season and plan to do course etc however am seeking advice on good books/DVDs or similar to outline player positions, set plays etc?
I keep coming across situations of umpires reversing play for "pass not set". Typically where we want to take the pass speedily the ball is laid off, it is then being reversed as the offending player has not been standing by our side and ball given back to the offender. Surely this can not be the correct use of the rule? Some who contacts but then chooses not to set the penalty in time is then given the ball back? I understand it being reversed if the pass is not set from the correct position, but surely not for not waiting for the offender to be by our side!
