I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
"help, 1 handed shooter". i need advise on what to do with my GA, i have just started coaching U13's and have found that my GA shoots 1 handed from the shoulder all the time and she is very stubborn when i try to tell her she needs to practise shooting from above her head because the defence players are tall and put there hand over the ball stopping her from shooting all the time. help! what can i do.
What is the best way to rotate nine girls age 12
Is there a system for rotating 9 girls through each position fairly each week
I have a team of mixed age girls from year 4 to year 5. 7 of the players are playing together for 2nd or 3rd season together with 2 of these players having low ball and motor skills. 3 of the players are in their first year, 1 of which demonstrates good ball and motor skills, the other two with beginner skills. What is the best way to rotate the players for games to ensure they are all developing? The section we are playing in does not require mandatory position changes at half time, although I have been doing this to develop their overall skills, is this right? Thanks in advance, Mel
I have an U10 team playing in Div 1, we are doing well coming 2nd in the comp. The problem i have is I have 8,9 and 10 year olds in the team as we are a small club. I am looking for Drills to cater all age groups and the girls abilities/skills. There are girls who play beyond their ages, and then girls who cannot catch or throw a ball, (basically 6 of the 9 players cannot do both). They have improved, but i find the skilled players are getting frustrated as there are alot of turnovers due to basic errors, bad passes, stepping, offside etc....any advice would be appreciated.Thanks
so we have five on at a time-&3-4 subs....any easy plans to rotate players positions and sub the sidelined girls?I am a boy so be specific...lolI manage the team.CheersC
Hello Team, I am new to this site and have signed up for free individual membership. In a few drills, I see a lock sign however can see the videos post clicking on it. Would like to understand if these are available for free or if there is a cost associated with it. Thank you, Bhumit
I am coaching girls who are in year 8 high school, so around the 13-14 age group. It has come to my attention that there is one particular girl in the team who "lords" it over one other girl at school. Tells her things that she thinks she is doing wrong and basically criticises her style of play. The girl who is being picked on was so upset she did not want to train this week and told her mother she wanted to leave the team.How do I combat this?I have already had one session with the girls about being a team and supporting each other and being better people. It seems to have fallen on deaf ears for this particular girl...
im doing a 20 minute session with netball to yr 11s. i have to do a warm up and a attacking practice and shooting practice, does anyone have any different warm ups or games in which i can use, thank you !
Hi im coaching the grade 1 netball team this year. Its my first time coaching so i just want some tips on how to start with practice. Some easy drills and things to do with them to make it fun and so they can learn.Thank youLindie
I've coached 5 girls from my netta team for 1 year already they are extremely advanced (hardly stepping, intercepting, not bunching and shadow defending) however I have 4 girls in my team that have never played before joining. Any ideas on how to teach the basics but not boar the other girls?
Hi I have a new team of 7/8 year olds and we have one very weak player that doesn't move or listen nor catch the ball. Any advice? I need to play her in all positions as they move around to learn them all but feel she needs to learn one at a time. She says she just wants to shoot but that's difficult when she can't catch. Other players aren't passing to her either as she doesn't movebinto position. Any advice would be great! The rest of the time are thriving!! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
HI, so I am coaching for my first time this year, and I am coaching an U/10 group of girls. I am trying to get them to learn:1) How to get them to work as a team2) How to look for the person without their player3) How to stay in front of their playerand 4) how to not clump.I know that that is a lot of things but where do I start and how do I start? Any answers are much appreciated!!!!Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

I am coaching 10 & 11yr old girls for the 2nd year purely because no one else wanted to do it - I've never even played netball and this site helps me every week, invaluable and we see tangible results. 1st year we won comp and championship, this year came 2nd in comp, champ starts this Sat. Two of the girls have told me their mums are changing them from this school team to another club (the one that won) next year 'cause "the coaching's not good enough for their child". All this teaches their child is that if your team isn't winning, go to another - forget about loyalty. Sometimes it difficult to take this on the chin. Any advice?
I am coaching a little net set go team (set tier) with ages 5-8. Usually I coach high school girls. A mum of one of the 7 yr olds just messaged me with this: "i was just wondering If you have any tips to help us get Miss S enthused about netball, she isn't enjoying it but wants to "give it more time" (her words)." We only have a half hour training session before we play as no one else will coach but this is the only time I can do training and there are players from another town so this is the best option for everyone. We play a couple of warm up drills/games and practice 1 skill ready for our game. I have covered the basics of passing and footwork so far. None of my team have ever played before, but 4 of them did the net set go - net tier last year. The girl has only played 2 games so far as we have had a bye. So far she has had a go at positions GK, GD, GS, GA, and WA. She is the tallest girl in the team and so tends to get a fair amount of the ball. Any ideas on what to suggest to this mum?
