Hi Shaz,
It sounds like this mother has taken on the job to help out as there
didn't seem to be anyone else who wanted the job. This is the case in a
lot of netball teams - especially juniors, where the parent takes on the
role but doesn't have a lot of experience or knowledge of the game, but
feels an obligation. I would suggest that you tactfully have a chat
with the parent/coach & see how she is coping with it all. She may need
a bit of assistance or advice on some good coaching manuals. Perhaps
you should suggest CANCOACH to her. I'm sure she will appreciate it.

Subject: [netballcoaching] Any Suggestions?

My daughter (16) has just joined some school friends to play netball
after a season off. They
don't have a coach as such, just a mum (who is a coach) who has
volunteered to train them
one night per week.

The first training session was nothing like my daughter is used to.
Previously her training
has included very specific warm-ups, ball drills, skills development
etc. She is used to training
hard - and loved it. She was disappointed at the lack of substance in
the training session.
She has assisted me with a junior team for the past 4 years and our
training sessions had
more to them.

I am hoping that the first session was being used just to evaluate what
the girls could do,
but I don't even think what they did could have displayed that.

Being new to the team (and club) we don't want to cause any trouble, so
can anyone
suggest ways we can politely suggest a more meaningful training
schedule? The trainer has
generously offered her time when no one else seemed interested so we
don't want to
appear ungrateful.

Thanks
Shaz
