Hello, it will be my first time ever doing something netball related specifically coaching so I was just wondering if I could get help starting and initiating plans. I am experienced in Basketball so I am hoping this will help with drills and excerise.
I have played netball pretty much all of my life, but this week I will be starting to coach year 2's (age 6/7/8). I am sure they will all be new to the sport, and I could really use some advice on what to do. Any tips, or training excersices, or videos I could watch would be amazing.

I am coaching family netball to teach the basics. I have 3 x adults and 3 x children. Anyone got any good games I can play with them that would work for such a small group (of different heights) please?
The girls I coach have just made it into their first grand final against a top-of-the-ladder, undefeated team. I know they have the skills to beat them, but I'm scared that the pressure will get to them, especially since they've never played a granny before. what do I do/say before the game to get them in the right headspace to play?

what should i start with while coaching netball players
Recently I have noticed some of my team members have started being nasty towards each other on the court and negative towards others. It is affecting their game and everyone else's. I also have a player complaining about another player behind her back. How do I get my team to become more positive towards each other and re-iterate that we need to get along and encourage each other?
I am coaching an under 9As netball team in their first year of competition. I have 6 experienced players and 3 new players who have never played before. There are 9 in the team so there will always be 2 reserves. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice as to how to organise/rotate the players each week so they each have their turn off. The girls need to have equal time on the court. I also don't want to disrupt their teamwork and want to keep the team as strong as possible at all times. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
Within our team we have a player that has been in the team from 9/un. We now play open age 15/un and it is way above her skills and abilities. She has difficulty with training and is guaranteed to to cry at most sessions. I have spoken to her mother to encourage her to try and I have spoken to the player. I have asked her if she is happy within the team etc also asked why she plays and what she gets out of it. She always answer that she doesnt know but she is happy. The competition and team mates are way above her abilities - what to do? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
I have coached for the past 2 seasons, with my teams not having a lot of success. I am hoping that I can coach again for a third season. I want to improve my coaching skills and knowledge over the offseason, so if I am given the chance I can be the best coach that I can be and hopefully lead a team to success.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
