I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
What do you look for in each position when you must put your team together. Who is your keyplayer (strongest player) on the court, the wing attack? Our team has lost the centre and the wing defence and it is a real headache to choose a new team.
How do you teach GK and GD to talk? I know I need to teach my 14yr olds to communicate in the circle, but what exactly should they be saying? And how do I teach them to switch partners in the circle when they need to rather than getting caught out focussing too much on one player? They're an awesome pair, and I think if we can address these two issues, they will be scary good. Thanks for any help. Heather.
I have two brand new players in a year 5 team, they have never played before, are very shy and seem afraid to get involved in the game. How do I build their confidence to get involved and what positions would be best to introduce them to to start with? Thanks
how to get into the goal circle when shooters are being zoned out
Ummm, can the wa and wd go in the in the netball goals circle
What are all the positions in netball and where can they go and what do they do? What is the best position when doing your first netball match?
i want to know how many people are there on the court in a real game of netball netbal
A netball player (Goal Defence) who was the anchor in the team was not recognised as a great team player and now that the season has started and I am the coach for this team, I see the kids would not pass the ball to her and is very indifferent towards her. This is coming from the parents of those kids. This little girl, with her dence skills drove the ball to other side and the team made their first score at interschool netball. She is under my wing now, how do I approach this situation and my response to the mum (ex netball captain) who has taken the time to watch every netball game.

different kinds of matching practice for 13 year olds in netball
If a WA is holding the ball on the edge of a shooting circle and is waiting for the shooter to move closer to the hoop whilst her legs are in a split position before passing her the ball then passes the ball to her as she is now closer where does the defender have to defend from.
Hi. Whilst playing Wing Defence, I had one WA pretty much doing the splits on the semi circle, preventing me getting near to her. No matter which side of her I go on, she simply just turns. Quite genius really. Any ideas other than standing behind her and hoping I don't make contact should the ball be passed to her? Thank you.
please tell me the rules for WD
Hey quick questionIf the WD or GD are attempting to block the WA or GA from entering the goal third prior to a centre pass would you call obstruction or delaying play. Asking for a friend as this happened to their team.
what are the roles of each position
how do i progress the interception and recover drill as a wd
(I dont usually play WD,so i`m still getting used to the position.When defending the WA at the centre pass, should i be on the inside or the outside of my player on the line?). How do i defend on the goal circle and try and get intercepts?when should i leave my player and try and go for an intercept?

I am a wing attack and don't now how to intercept
The 163cm defender is great against regular height girls her age (ie 13) but I need some help with the tall girls (185 cm +). She jumps really well and is constantly with the player. She reads the play well but it is almost soul destroying to see the opposition lob the ball into the tall girl who stands and waits for the shot.
in more ways than one
No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
Train your defenders to win clean turnovers, not just disrupt. The difference between good defenders and great ones is taking the ball, not just touching it.
Netball is experiencing unprecedented growth, with record viewership, evolving rules, and professional leagues expanding worldwide. Here's what 2026 brings for our sport.
