I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I need some clarification please. In the goal circle if GS steps in towards the goal post and lifts her grounded foot, where does the defender defend from if the shooter stepped in before the defender lifted her arms? Is the 3ft from where her grounded foot was or where she stepped in to?
I am not sure how to teach my girls how to defend a shooter who catches a pass with the splits and then sets up to shoot. Can anyone assist. Girls are aged 15 & 16yrsthanks
I'm training for the State League/U17 tryouts next year and I want to know what abilities the really good GSs have, like clean breaking within the circle, high shooting goal percentage etc. Does anyone have any exercises/drills that I would be able to do by myself or with one or two people to build up skills like breaking? (Sportplan's drills are mainly based on coaching an entire team, and I can't supply that many people to train with me %3A( ) Thankyou in advance,Belladonna And nice to meet the netball lovers on this site %3A) I don't have any friends who love netball as much as me...
Any ideas on how to rotate nine players in an under fifteen years team (none of whom want to play defence)??
I have a shooter that shoots with one hand. She has a great strike rate, if the conditions are in her favour (ie no wind, rain or glare) The defence manage to see her and the shot from a mile away and tend to load on her. How can I or can I do to show how to protect the ball prior to a shot?
need help with a workshop/clinic (warm-up ect)
Hi everyone. I am a first time coach and my team knows nothing! where should I start and what drills would you recommend?
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?
How does a coach keep training sessions fun, complex, educational and entertaining enough to keep the older girls interested and for the younger girls to keep up? And some training sessions have less than 10 girls (easy to handle) and some can have maybe over 30. Only ONE of these teams (a group of 9) are mine and the other 20-odd are from at least 4 other teams in the club.
I have a tall girl who is a great shooter, but she struggles in getting free for the ball. Can you suggest any drills to help her with this.
What are attacking strategies and defending strategies??? I need to finish my coursework and I am stuck with those two!
The girls I am coaching have never played before and are aged 6 to 7 years, I really need some ideas to teach them the positions of the court - any tips or drills anyone can recommend?
I am coaching a year six team with a friend and I have never coached before but I have played netball for many years. What sort of drills are suitable for them (they are about 11 and 12) which are not to complicated but also aren't to basic. Thanks in advance!!
I'm coaching u/10's and have an excellent A team, but the B team have learners who haven't been playing netball so long. Does anyone have one or two basic activities, easy to understand (for them) which I can drill them with for passing, defending and getting free, as well as something for the shooters. They are always all over the place (we do practice channels) and really struggle to get free - they run a bit and then just stop to wait for the ball. Anything, even just some advice would be appreciated! :)
I am looking for pre game drill ideas. in half a hour we warm up with dynamic stretching. Ball handling/passing then 2 or 3 team drills. What drills do you recommend for adult top level drills?
How to move around in the goal circle Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
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.
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 can I teach my players to defend against a very tall goal shooter?
How do you get the Goal Defence staying with the Goal Attack, especially when the Goal Attack drops down behind the Goal Defence and gets the ball all the time in the Goal Circle?How do you get the Defence in the Goal Circle to rebound and how do you get the Goal Shooters following their shot and rebound?
