Netball: training program

Serial steppers at 14 years old, how do I stop this terrible habit?  Half my team step and have been playing for many years.

i have been set a task to come up with a 6 week training program for a netball player, with the main aim to increase their endurance levels. i have planned for 3 sessions per week resulting in 18 sessions all together and i was wondering what sort of drills are appropriate to use so that there is a noticeable increase in endurance levels without having to make the player just literally run around for 40 mins a session. please help??

I would like to give my girls some extra training to do at home to help build up their core strength, arm strength, speed and balance on the court. Any suggestions as to what i can give them. They are 13 and are all keen for it. I just need something that they can do that lasts no longer than 30min and that they can do about 3 times a week. That way if training is cancelled due to rain they can still do a netball based workout at home.

​I'm looking at designing a training program for a netball team. It's an assessment piece for HPE at school, and the following factors must be implemented into the program: Ways to improve on Cardio Vascular fitness, muscular power, muscular speed, and agility and co-ordination. The training plan should be 18 weeks in length, incorporating the Preparatory and Competitive Phases of training. I am aiming for the team to 'peak' on the competition day during the 19th week. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To what extent is a fitness and training program an effective factor, in individual performance and development, on-court stamina and improvement of overall fitness level, when incorporated into an A grade or elite netballer’s lifestyle?

What should a player do when they are in a rep team & committed but the coach makes comments after a carnival game like ''why did they bother coming if they are going to play like that" It's rep level, so the time commitment is big for parents & players and these comments visibly affect the team morale. It's also said at the side of the court where everybody can hear. My daughters shooting gets noticeably wobbly after these pep talk. They are given no specific guidance on how to improve their technique or change their game. Good players who are not difficult have left the rep team partially because of these types of comments. It is nearing the end of rep season & I fear if my daughter speaks up now, there will be negative consequences for her & and if I speak up, I will be seen to be an interfering parent. I know coaching is a difficult gig as I have coached for several years. Granted, a good game is acknowledged, but the damage has been done. They are 13/14year old girls and generally, not too sassy. The girls train for club & rep, play an extra game for rep each Saturday, umpire & practice outside of rep training, so they are a committed team. Several of the parents in the team coach & we all find this style to be counterproductive. Any suggestions?

As a new coach how do i plan my training program?

I am coaching an U13s team and at training i am struggling to get them to listen and stop mucking around. Any ideas i can try?

Hi, I am new to coaching, but have played all my life.I have taken on a team of 13 year olds this year, and am enjoying it. I have a few challenges, but the main one is that one of my key players, GK, has ADD/ADHD. She is the tallest girl on the team, and would be so effective if she just tried. She doesn't try. She doesn't engage with me or the other players. I have given her plenty of positive feedback, in the hopes that she will be boosted by that, I even partnered with her tonight at our training session, just to see how she would go. In the warm up with me, she was great, kept up and stayed enthused. When we started running drills and working on different things, she just doesn't even appear to be engaged. I know she is medicated when she comes to training, but I need her to switch on in a game situation. At the end of our training sessions, we always play a small game, and she just loses her enthusiasm and just doesn't try. I'm looking for ways to help and encourage her. Any ideas or suggestions welcome!!

Hi all, At the end of this season we selected our rep teams in readiness for the next years competitions and to ensure that all girls had time to organise and commit to representative teams. We have played in a social league for a few weeks and will break for the Christmas period in two weeks time returning in mid February. I am keen to keep the girls active, and was wondering if anyone has documented an off season training plan as such. I would like to get the girls to concentrate on footwork , ( use of skipping rope) and fitness, as well as basic ball skills, but am not sure what expectations i should have with them ? They are all 14 yrs old. Thanks in advance Gary

This program needs to be equally distrubted in the following tasks; speed, cardiovascular endurance, game rules and ball handelling (no more than two weeks) power/ strength, and co-ordination

I am planning to start a 6 weeks training programme for 9 to 15 yr olds. Can anyone please assist in how i should start off. I am not a coach by the way. Thanks.
