I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
I have recently started coaching a u/12 team, something very new to me as I have always coached older kids or adults. My shooters make a lot of stepping errors specifically after a spilt landing. How do I help them remember which foot they put down first?
Hi I coach a great team of under 9s and when we do a driving drill we start with "pitter patter feet" (like a very fast low jog on spot) then when i say GO they drive forward. However a lot of them step back with their foot then drive forward. Any tricks out there to get just going forward? Is it just the foot they start on like the strong foot? Or something else?
Hi, two of my 13 year old players are constantly stepping. I have tried drills, with the landing on their outside foot, both feet and even put a coin in one of their shoes, so they can tell which one they landed on but they still step. Any suggestions? Thanks
cannot seem to get some players to stand still or not pick up landing feet when they get the ball. Blowing them for stepping normally get them into telling me about all the mistake everyone else is makings
Hi, I have a lady in my team who keeps getting pulled up for footwork (dragging)! i cant get to many matches and she doesnt do it in training, i videoed a game to see what the problem was and it seems that she has a very wide landing stance when on the run, almost as if she needs to take another step, ive tried to encourage her (and done a drill) to land on outside feet and small step footwork patterns etc but nothing seems to be working! Has anyone ever had the same problem?! Any ideas?!?! Sarah %3A)
If you pivot on the ball of your foot and then your heel is this a legal move?
How do stop my u11's from stepping, we do drills at training but during the game they keep stepping?
My year 6 girls are experimenting with stepping in to shoot a goal. I'm finding this to be a disadvantage as they are unbalanced on one foot and therefore inaccurate. The defender is not required to step back, keeping 3 feet from the grounded foot so the shot is put up into the defenders hand. I am a centre court player so I'm not sure what advice to give.
iam in u/14 and i step a lot and give away free pass the team is getting bored
I would like clarification regarding a rule and I can't seem to find it when going through the rule book.A pass is thrown within the field of play to another player, this player lands with one foot in the court, whilst the second landing foot lands on the sideline of the court. Is play deemed to continue, or is it deemed that the ball has gone out of play as the player has stepped in possession of the ball out of bounds.

If the defender has her 3ft against the shooter and the shooter then takes a step back is the defender allowed to move in a bit or stay where they are? Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
Hi all, My daughter is about to start coaching for the first time and it's expected she'll have a group of 10 years olds in C or D grade. I'm struggling to remember what her capabilities were at that age and she's looking for some suggestions for drills to start off with until she gets a handle on where they're at. Is anyone currently working with kids around that age/ability bracket? Does anyone know if any of the weekly drills are aimed at beginners/introductory levels? From the ones I'm seen, they're aimed at an intermediate level so I'm assuming some of the games would be OK, but most of the drills would be beyond their capability.Thanks in advance.
My centre was penalised for stepping in the centre circle - she took her centre stance and after the whistle was blown she stepped out with one foot. I didnt think a centre had a 'landing foot' at a centre pass, providing both feet are in the circle when the whistle blows, but the umpire said when she returned to the circle she put her left foot in first so that became her landing foot even though play had not been started. I told her just to stay in the circle but I would like to know if the umpire was correct or if she had it wrong
After 3 feet has been established between the shooter and defender, and then the shooter steps in to the defender, allowing the defender to then touch the ball, is it contact by the defender, or did the shooter cause the contact on the ball?
Good day. I would like some clarity regarding transverse lines. Are players allowed or how far are players allowed to step on or stand on transverse lines during play or at goal circles and at centre passes. Please some controversy regarding this rule.
One of my players stalks every time she gets the ball, she doesn't have good balance, what drill apart from teaching her to slow down could I use.
