Netball: slow

What's the best practice drills I can implement to help Under 8'slearn to find some space and come forward to the ball thrower.

We have an amazing team in our grade who is incredibly fast through the court. The GA seems to dominate both mid court and the goal circle. How or what tactics can I teach my defenders (10 year olds) to stop or slow her down?

How do I get one of my players to hold the ball longer? She has awesome speed and stamina on the court but she doesn't slow down to throw the ball. She is an adult. What can I do to help her?

We played last night and at least 4 or 5 times during the match we were blown for contact. This was when a player had received the ball and turned at speed to make a quick pass. But because the opponent was man on, the player with the ball accidentally knocked into her with the ball. Our captain questioned this and was told that the player with the ball had to allow the opponent to get her distance before turning to feed the ball. This was so frustrating as we had to slow our game right down. Is this a new rule because we have never come across this before?

My girls play in A grade for under 10's and they were doing very well until last week where every player was picked up for stepping more than once. They played terribly and obviously lost confidence with their feet so their passes were lobby and they were not thinking about where they were passing. We practice drills at training but I need really good drills help them intuitively feel their grounded foot vs moving foot. Can anyone suggest anything?

How can I turn these tips into possessions, is it footwork being too slow to actually get onto the ball. or what?? Most of the tips are in defence area and centre. Love some feedback Janine

I am a defender and I am not very fast. I usually verse a fast attacker so what is the best way that I can get an intercept off her at a centre pass? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Hi everyone, I have a few girls in a pretty strong under 13 team who start dropping balls when the pace gets fast and furious. The main issue seems to be trying to turn and look to where they are going to pass before they've got their hands firmly on the ball. Anyway have worked on drills that slow things down but this seems to go by the wayside as soon as their is another fast and furious game. Anyone got any thoughts? thanks Rebecca

I organise a ladies netball group of varying abilities but mostly beginners. Despite constantly telling them to slow their play down, they are determined to pass the pall on as soon as its in their hands often resulting in sloppy passing. Any suggestions on how to slow the pace down and hopefully, improve their passing?

I have a older goal defense and she is playing alot younger quicker goalies, how can I get her to slow them down? Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

I have an u14 team who get the ball and move to quickly through the court hence they are always chasing the ball. How can I slow them down so they get more control? I’ve tried bands and getting them to reset so they are ready for the ball coming down the court but to no avail!!! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Looking for ideas or strategies to combat a really quick and accurate GA. Cant let her run the whole court as she will get every second pass and still shoots 90% of the other teams goals. Our defence can only keep up after half time when she starts to tire. We should be able to beat them if we can combat this one very good player.

My team has trouble communicating during games, but not in training. How can I encourage and improve their communication on the court? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

I am coaching a team of teenagers, who have lost the majority of their games. They are improving and still in good spirits. However I find they start the game really rough, sometimes it continues to go down hill, but often they have a really good second half. How can I get them to start strong? Do I need to look at my warm up???

Hi everyone, I'm a GS/GA and I shoot well but I struggle to make opportunities for myself to shoot in games. It is slightly better when I play GS if i stay in the circle, but when I play GA or come out, it has happened that I haven't shot at all. I either get blocked from going in the circle straight away or am too slow to position myself. Could anyone give me some pointers about basic movement? I have watching videos where players roll/cut - if a player is marking you face on and blocking you from entering the D, would that be how I get around them? Could you give me some advice on how to improve from here? Thank you. Asked using Sportplan on Mobile

How can you get an interception with two hands and deliver the ball safely to goal. If I am getting a tip on the ball when intercepting is that down to basic ball handling skills ? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App

Does anyone have any tips or drills to help slow down the speed of a game? My 14b side are rushing their play and as a result silly mistakes are being made. I have looked on this site and tried google but cant find anything.

I had a netball game on Saturday and i slept around 10 pm the night before. When I woke up i felt sleepy, and not energized. I think i was slow on my feet when it came to the game. I did not play at my usual level of performance. can lack of sleep affect performance in netball? should i sleep earlier next time? BTW, my game was at 8:30 am so I had to wake up at 6 am.thanks.
