Having problems with message search?
Hi there,
Is it due to her being a little shorter than most of the defensive players she is playing against or the players she is passing too are shorter than the defenders ?
If so, then have the players coming down the court on a lead lead on an angle (eg 45%) rather than straight. That way they are still coming onto the ball, but creating the angle and vision for the player needing to pass off the ball.
If the players leading are covered, they can always lead in one direction then change to the opposite direction and/or front cut their opposition once they are in front, this way the defender must pull out otherwise they will contact the attacking player.
Hope this helps
Regards

Subject: [netballcoaching] Lacking confidence to throw over defender's arms
Hi All,
I have a 17/U player who is going backwards in her netball. On
Saturday the rest of the team were working really hard at looking down
the court for their first passing option and moving the ball quickly.
While everyone else was looking towards our goal this player's first
option was always across the court to our back-up player. At 1/2 time I
spoke to this player and she said that she can't see any leads because
of her defender's arms. I'm not 100% convinced this was the problem
but can anyone suggest some drills for us to work on at training and
any tactics that I might be able to suggest to this player.
She obviously has lost confidence in her abilities. And I've had to
make positional changes around this player and this is damaging her
confidence. But the way she is playing has to also be damamging her
confidence.
I'm hoping someone out there can help me.
