Too kick of the new season Marconi Netball Club is holding its traditional
pre season carnivale for 10yo's on 21 March 2004. The day is part of Club
Marconi's Sports Carnevale' which has many sports competitions running on
the day.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our little netballers to have a
preseason game with no competition pressure, and for our coaches and
officilas to get into the scheme of things before the season proper
commences. We also encourage the day to be a training day for junior
umpires.

Last years event was very enjoyable and allowed many to rekindle past
friendships and contacts so come along and join us in this annual event

The day offers participants certificates and a free BBQ for participants.

We draw teams from all over Sydney so get in early....teams are only limited
to 20.

Venue is Club Marconi Netball Complex
Prairievale Rd, Bossley Park(S/W Sydney)

If you want to participate in a fun day and have a dress rehersal before the
start of the your season pls contact the Marconi Netball Secretary on 0413
022 197. Pls hurry so we can fit you in and get the draws drafted.

>Hi Everyone,
>
>Well it's nearly the start of a new season in Australia and New
>Zealand so why don't we share a few thoughts on the types of things
>we have done (or plan to do) early in the season.
>
>Here's my first thought:
>- nothing beats playing games, both from the players perspective
>(especially if they are kids because it's fun) and also from the
>coaches perspective because you can see what they need to work on and
>get them to concentrate on specific skills in the game.
>Rather than just playing a whole match why not try this:
>- 5mins games and play about 8 of them, each lot of 5mins players can
>totally focus on ONE skill, this can be either an individual skill or
>a team focus.
>Or the skill could be something you can take stats on so they can
>attempt to better their score in the next lot of 5mins.
>ie.
>5mins - 1 on 1 defence - attempting to intercept the first ball to
>their player.
>5mins - A well timed straight lead
>5mins - Every passer must have 2 options to pass to.
>5mins - Every oposition pass must have hands up at 3 feet.
>5mins - No two plays can be the same in a row.
>5mins - Anything your team is working on.
>Anyway see how it goes and why not let everyone here know your
>thoughts.
>
>Also remember that if you are looking for new activities to do at
>training why not get that new resource to spark up your training
>sessions. I've got both books and CD Roms and remember I've got that
>new one called 'Netball Training Games' so you can add lots of
>excitement to all your training session. There are 40 games for you
>to play at training so that's 2 new games each training session for
>the season - Your team would love it. Anyway check out
>www.cancoach.com.au/netball to see what is available. If you would
>like advise on what resources would be best for you please feel free
>to email me directly and let me know the age group and standard of
>team you coach and the types of things you want.
>gillian@...
>
>Have a great season everyone and remember why not share just one idea
>to us all of the types of thing you have done at a training season so
>we can all keep our sessions full of variety.

>Cheers
