I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Pre-season training is about to begin for me as a coach.I would be interested in knowing of any activities which other coaches have found to be successful and at the same time enjoyable.I coach 17- 19 year olds as well as 11-13 year olds.RegardsTerry (Australia, Submitted via email)P.S. I have access to a beach and large grassed areas.
what are some effective drills to make 10 or 11 year olds drive forward to the ball?
9 players - 4 girls off half a game each week or 2 players off per quarter? I coach a 10 yrs team in a very close A grade competition. There are 9 players therefore 2 reserves are needed each quarter. Is it best to have 4 girls off for half a game each week, less disruption to team but best players are then off for half a game - girls are off every second week, or 2 girls off each quarter, more disruption but best players are only off for quarter of a game, girls are off every week. I am required to give all players equal time on the court throughout the season. Thank you.
Does anyone have drills for working on elevation. My girls are Year 7 and 8's - 11 and 12 year olds. Getting their legs stronger for jumping???
How do I help my 11-12 year olds to focus?
How can I teach my 8 year olds to spread out when bringing the ball down the court?
My daughter has just started playing netball what are some good one on one skills for me to do with her? She is 11.
Hi all I am desperately seeking knowledge of court spacing. I am the coach of a team of 11 year olds and I don't have much playing history to speak of. The girls are still at that point where they all seem to lead for the ball and crowd the space around the ball. My problem is that I don't know the theory around who should be leading and who shouldn't be. I want to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of team play myself - who should be hanging back and who should be going for the next pass. I have done the Australian foundation coaching course but it didn't seem to cover this area. I would love to see a video of a coach teaching young players this concept. Does anyone know of any books, blogs, youtube videos that may come in handy? Thanks to all, love reading all the informative questions and answers.
I coach a year 6 team, half of the girls are quite competitive and gave played together for a few years. I have two girls who are playing their second year with my team and I am struggling progressing these girls... They both don't seem to have any idea on court for it being their second year.. There is only so much I can do in an hour training session when I have to accomodate the rest of the team.. Any suggestions on what I should do with these two girls? I have provided them with printed information on positions and court placement for "study".. Should I put some responsibility back on the parents?
What would you consider to be a good 15min warm up before a game in limited space for 11 year olds?
I coach 10 and 11 year olds that need quite a bit of work. They still need to build their upper body strength and passing accuracy. I am teaching them to use chest passes as the pass that they should use the majority of the time and use shoulder passes for longer range passes. I find that their shoulder passes are weak and not accurate, but something we are working on progressively. We have an umpire that constantly yells at the kids and demands that they use shoulder passes all of the time and has told me that I am coaching them wrong and that I don't know what I am doing. What are your thoughts on this? I do the best I can as a volunteer coach.

Hi, I have a team of 11 year olds with 8 in the team, is there a fair way of substituting fairly so they all get equal court time. I do not want any arguments with parents.ThanksDi
Help, dad thrown in the deep end - what basic attacking strategies do you use for 11 years olds? They have great skill and have played since they were 5 years old, but still run around like headless chickens, everyone calling for the ball and getting in each other's way. Is there a method to this madness I can teach? Some teams look like they know who is going to pass to who and the ball gets from one end to the other fluidly. Impart your netball wisdom on me, oh great netball coaches! Asked using Sportplan Mobile App
I coach 11 year olds. Let's say our GK secures a rebound, pivots and looks to pass to WD who is holding her position on the circle edge (leaving no space for anyone to get in front of her).Is the WA from the other team allowed to then place her outside foot in between our WDs feet and effectively bully / push her way so that half her body is in front of our WD?

what are some enaging games for developing footwork within my year 11 netball team. Prefer some exciting modified games over drill please, as basic drills tend to lead to disengament. thank you in advanced
