Well, I don’t know about other areas in Australia –
but tomorrow is the big sign on day for Queensland netballers! I thought
I’d check in and see how everyone’s start to the netball year has
been.
I’m the president of a regional netball club, with about
12 teams. This will be my third season as president, and I’m
excited to see how our hard work will pay off. I’ve also stepped up
to coaching the A grade team this year – which will be a challenge, as I
have always chosen to coach B/A Res as I love the ‘diamonds in the rough’
feeling by the end of the year. Now I need to remember to make the drills
faster, more complicated and add some more strategy in. For so long I’ve
been thinking, ‘when the ball skills are better I will....’ and now
I can!
I must tell you all too, that we did our A grade trials
recently, and had the good fortune to find out that Ana Noovao (former Silver
Fern captain and Cook Islands coach) was in town (yes, in our little town) and
we asked her to speak to the players trialling. I was SO impressed by her –
and the girls were thrilled – it’s not often you get to speak to
someone who’s actually made it in regional Queensland.
Good luck to everyone with a sign on soon – may you all
have wonderfully motivated teams to coach!

Hi Michelle. I take two very different approaches. As a very general guide, I ask all of my players to take control of the space. So, at a centre pass, if the...
Dear Michelle, Stephen's overall idea is good in that it is a percentage play. Here is an example of what I mean. If you can get the opposition centre to pass...

Hi I think you have to get your two defenders and your centre to work in conjunction at the centre pass. For eg. if the GD is on the outside of the GA and you...

Hi, I agree with what Deanne has put. If you don't have both defenders on the outside and the centre drops back it makes it too hard for them to cover any ...
Both provide good options and you should be able to play both. Being able to use both in a game just give you one more option to confuse the other team. Miles ...

Having them on the inside will force them towards the middle and with the C coming back to cover the space in the middle. Outside of that if they are on...
Thanks to everyone's advice. It's funny, because I've always taught my players to be on the inside of their player and force them to the sideline - and now I...
