Shaz,
Suggest the following;
1. Write down a list of goals that your daughter has for netball and her
team.
2. Drills she used to do to work towards her goals.
3. Discuss these things with the coach, how these goals can be achieved
(without anyone else around).
4. Offer your assistance to the coach.
5. Your daughter can demonstrate the drills how it is done if the coach
is unsure.

This way the coach does not feel that you are:
1. Not criticising her.
2. Motivated in improving your childs netball skills.
3. Providing assistance just in case the coach requires it.
4. Reassurance you are not taking over.
5. Objective without pointing out the obvious.

regards,
