How do I teach my team to pass and then move quickly so that the opposition's defenders cannot intercept our passes.
Hi can u give me some ideas on how the shooters would feed themselves closer towards the goal. What i mean is by passing the ball in and out 2 one person and moving closer 2 the goal at the same time . Something simple for girls aged 10.

How do i teach my 10/11 yr old girls the basics of court balance/ positional play?
Hi, my team is having issues breaking a defensive zone where the GD and GK sit high in our attack end and play an area rather than players, we tried manning up on them but just crowded the attack end and didn't work? If we lob over them the other defender drops back and picks up the intercept, same when we pass to the corners. Any advice will be gratefully received! Cheers Keli

I have a 13 yr old who struggles to pass off quickly and always looks for a better option. When passing in drills her passes are strong but in a game they are weak and inaccurate. What drills can work on with her to assist?
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?

How do I coach my team to successfully convert turnovers? What are your favourite drills / pieces of advice?
Please help I am the coach of 9 13/u girls. We currently playing in Blegue but we are struggling. I sit and watch how other teams play they look like well oiled machines with every girl knowing her place and what to do, in comparison our girls look"messy" they still crowd the ball running in to the person who's got the ball. At times when they do spread it they tend to "hug" the boundary lines staying within 2 m of it. They rely on overhead passes a lot . Or very short passes around 2-3m apart. And our biggest struggle is to score of our own centre passes. We just don't seem to be able to get the ball across the line. Please help

How can you strengthen a chest pass?
My team are a bunch of very strong girls, however they always start a game slow. Only leading by 1 or two. After the first quarter they seem to have settled and will normally win by a large gap. I make sure they warm up properly including landing skills, sprints, ball work and half court but yet nothing seems to get them playing their game from the off set? Any ideas?
Hi, I have a player who is coming back to netball after not having played since she was 12 years old (now 18). I want her to develop her throwing arm as her shoulder pass is quite weak. Apart from throwing the ball back and forth at home, are there any specific exercises I can get her to do?
