I have a group of girls 11/12 who have never had a?

I have a group of girls 11/12 who have never had a coach and are improving in leaps and bounds each week. My problem is, they don't seem to be able to last the whole game fitness wise. Can you suggest any fitness drills for a group of lazy girls who do not enjoy the fitness aspect of the training session...(some of them walk their warm-ups). The majority of them are in high school and have that dreadful "i'm good" attitude. Any suggestions graetly appreciated

I'm a new nettas coach for my daughter's U7 team. I have a few drills but would really appreciate some coaching tips (their attention span isn't that long!) I'm feeling a bit clueless about the training.

hi guys. i am the coach of a year 6/7/8 primary team,?

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. 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

'Most Improved Player'

Should we give out an award ' Most Improved Player' award to one child when there are four equally good players? Secondly should a child who could not catch a ball to begin with be given this type of award? Looking for answers ASAP please.

Angel JP Coach, South Africa

Can this drill be used for attacking/ receiving ball in space?

Hi, Do any netballers or coaches know if this drill could be used for attacking if you treat the 3 black Cs as only posts and the grey C drives into the space to catch the ball. just to practice running into space to receive ball?

Keeping girls motivated when l...

Hi, I'm co-coaching an U13 team. The players are a mix of experienced, but mostly inexperienced players, with a couple of players who are really talented (these are two of our inexperienced players). All players are new to each other. The girls won every game at the district grading days and we were upgraded two levels. We are now in round 6 of the competition and the girls have lost every game and we just lost from the team that was below them on the ladder. We've had a couple of injuries and one was quite bad in round 4 requiring surgery which has shaken the girls as well. They are starting to lose heart and their game is deteriorating. How do we keep them motivated?

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
