I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
9 year girlsWhat skill would get the girls to pass the ball quickly to a girl that is free instead of waiting for the other team to get into the defensive positions

hi guys. i am the coach of a year 6/7/8 primary team, this year i picked an extra large squad of 13 girls as we are a small town and didnt want to turn anyone away. i have 2 players that are by far the standouts of the team. at beginning of season i explained due to numbers no one would get full games and two people would stand down per week which has so far worked well. however now the parents think i should be playing these two girls all the time for full games so we can win the grade like last year. the two girls will leave for college next year and i fear giving them all the game time will discourage my young up and comers and i will then be left with nothing next year. i also think some parents are unaware if i do this it will be their children that are on the sideline. is it better to have many kids playing some netball than just some playing lots??? please help

I have an U10 team playing in Div 1, we are doing well coming 2nd in the comp. The problem i have is I have 8,9 and 10 year olds in the team as we are a small club. I am looking for Drills to cater all age groups and the girls abilities/skills. There are girls who play beyond their ages, and then girls who cannot catch or throw a ball, (basically 6 of the 9 players cannot do both). They have improved, but i find the skilled players are getting frustrated as there are alot of turnovers due to basic errors, bad passes, stepping, offside etc....any advice would be appreciated.Thanks
I need shooting drills for around the circle to help my team on weekends. I don't want drills that have nothing to do with moving the ball around the circle and shooting. I want shooting set ups for game day please.
I have a great U/12 team. Coaching is going well but how do I practice their skills if I dont have another tram that they can play against?
I want to play netball but I'm not good at it. can you please show me how to be a professional netball player. I'm 13 years old this year
What can I do on my first lesson back with my aged 7-11 aged girls? (Year 3-6 in school)! Any idea will be really good! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
Does anyone have drills for defence for reading the play?
skills for beginners to learn
some girls are new to netball and i need some new drills to do with all girls Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
different kinds of matching practice for 13 year olds in netball
I'm coaching 9-10 year olds. We are in a development level before heading to juniors next year. Our team is made up of different levels of netball skills and knowledge of the game. I struggle to cater for all levels as we only practice once a week and they are still at development level. 5 players have 4 years + netball experience with a higher skill set and always wanting a challenge. 2 players who know the basic and this is there 2nd year. my last 2 players who don't know anything and this is there first time playing. Need ideas??
Let us know the best drill to include when coaching a beginner level team !
Is it a good idea to break the team up into their different positions and work in small groups ?
I am going to be playing against a short shooter in the next 2 games (I'm about 7inches taller than her) and I want to do some drills that will help me with defending the drop ball and low balls into the circle. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks, Siobhan
