What is the best position to place two new girls to an Under 11s team?

Hi I have now two new girls that havent played before what is the best position to put them in until I know where they are best suited. I have been coaching for a year and a half (Under 11s) team of 9.  The new girls will attend one training session before the first game.

Motivating an under 11s team

I'm a coach for an under 11s teams, at the moment I'm doing basic drills to make them understand footwork, marking and passing,etc. But I think they get bored doing those drill so how do I motivate them and get them to be enthusiastic and have fun about the sport but also they can learn?

Court strategies - 11s | Sport...

I have conflicting advice - don't teach too many court strategies ie C to WA to GS to GA from a centre pass as I have been told that it stiffles their thinking. But without this I find they all crowd the space and at 10yrs old it seems very difficult to get them to understand about reading who is already in that space.  Or perhaps I just aren't explaining that concept well??  And also when bringing the ball through the court from a goal line throw in at our GK end - same with strategies for that. Is it okay to say GK I won't you to throw it to GD, then GD to C and so on and this is where your area of the court is and I want you to stay in that area and try and get the ball there?  Keeping the WD on the otherside and making sure she doesn't cross over. Confusing over how much at this age we teach court strategies or perhaps they are know as plays.  Alice P

What is the best way for GK throwing in to GD from the goal line.  I find GD ends up receiving a pass just a short distance from the GK. When we could make so much more of the space.  but I can't seem to stop her running straight at the GK. Thanks AP

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?

Looking for ideas to award our kids for their 1st season of netball. They are ages 7 - 8. I don't want to use most improved or most valuable as they have all improved since their 1st game and they are all valuable to the team. So.....I guess I'm looking for more individual traits/skils ideas that is personal to each and every one of our players

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.

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.
