Hi all,

For those who don't know I coach the Victoria State League Team -
Melbourne Central. We are in the Grand Final this Wed night.

I thought you would all like to know that this Wednesday 19th Sept at
8.30pm EST Australia you can see State League Netball live on the
web. Believe it or not the grand final is live on the web.

Check out www.melbournecentralnetball.com.au on Tuesday and you will
see a link to where the coverage will be.

We ended up 2nd on the ladder and lost to 1st by 17 - not so good. We
won the prelim final by 5 last week and so I'm planning for a huge
game next wed.

All tune in.

Cheers

Gillian

Hi Gillian,

I have been fortunate to have coached the indigenous club and my reward was I
got 2 out of 3 in the grand final and won. I also coach an U17 side of Juniors
which also won the grand final. My season has ended on a high with a trifecta in
the grand final + achieving the "Coachs Award for 2007".

All of this is thanks to your drills & skills which I have acquired over the
years to get me where I am today, and I just wanted to say "THANK YOU :-). Your
manuals have helped me to develop and challenge my athletes whilst team building
and growing with them.

My thoughts and best wishes to you and your team for Wednesday, hoping the girls
pull it in for you as did mine.

Good Luck
Jo :-)

Hi Fred

If the team that you are coaching are only 13's, surely all players
should be getting equal court time, unless this is a representative
team which have been selected to win. Surely the players you consider
not to be as strong as the other players need every opportunity to
develop their skills, and the best way to do this is through court
time. I know that as a parent I would not be happy if my daughter was
getting more bench time than other players in this age group. I
believe that our game needs all of the players, even the ones that
are not considered to be as strong to continue to thrive.  If we
continually bench our 'weaker' players eventually they will all
become disheartened and drop out and then there will not be enough
players for the 'strong' players to form a competition. I would also
say that at this age girls are growing and developing at different
rates and in a matter of weeks their skills can click into place and
they can become a much stronger player.

I agree that failure to attend training is a different issue and my
decision as to which players are on the bench would take this into
consideration.

I coach a team of 12s and certainly have some players that are
stronger than others, however all of my players have paid equal
registration fees and as such in my opinion deserve equal court time.
The position that these players play is not an issue for me, as I
instil in my players the view that all positions down the court are
equally important and the game can be won or lost if any one player
is or is not doing their job in their position.

I am sure you are doing a great job as the coach of this team, and
would also like to point out that 13 year old girls can be very
sensitive, emotional and impulsive at times and perhaps this has been
part of her decision to drop out of your team.

Unless it was pre-arranged with the parents, if a player continually
does not go to training then they should be first option to sit off.
If she has never attended training then she should not be playing. We
only play as well as we train.

on the opposing WA to let my WD know how many passes she stopped the
WA from getting.

I have a core group of seven girls who are my starting players and two
subs, which one of is my daughter.
On Tuesday night the Parent of the other sub pulled her daughter out
of the team due to not enough game time or different positions. This
player as a sub will get 2 to 3 quarters every week. I have played her
predominately as a WD as this is where she plays her best game. I have
tried her in C & WA but found her passes in this position were letting
her down. As a Parent and a coach I found her attitude very
disappointing and has left a bad taste in my mouth. My girls are all
under 13 and I have taught them to have fun playing but still trying
to win. My own daughter only gets to play 2 quarters and both my subs
are very short, so I can not play them as main defenders. Have I been
doing the right thing or have I failed as all the other parents
appreciate my time and effort. Also, this player has never attended
training.

I think there are a couple of issues here. But as a parent i wouldnt
be happy with this arrangement. This has effectively told these 2 subs
that they are 'sub standard'. As girls get older it gets harder and
harder to keep them involved in playing a sport. Netball is a team
sport and at this level...domestic and U 13 there shouldnt be a core
and subs, only a team. Almost equal court time for the 9 players, with
judicious use of rotation when its necessary by the coach.
As a coach, i have never told a girl verbally or by calling her a
'sub' that she wasnt as good as the others. My teams have their
stronger, preferred positions, other positions that they arent so
strong in and also know that occasionally they will play positions due
to necessity.
But the emphasis is on playing as a team. Yes they want to win, but
not at the expense of self esteem. Each player should have individual
goals and be encouraged when meeting them. We want them to keep
playing as long as possible.
Practice is another issue, but if the player knew that she was only
being used for 2 quarters, she obviously doesnt see the point in
attending practice and her mother certainly wouldnt. She isnt part of
or feel a part of the team.
Both my daughters have played in my teams and those of other coaches.
They stay because they like to play and they feel a part of, and
accepted by the group. Girls are social animals and self esteem in
teenagers is fragile. How easy is it for comments made by the core
group to affect it. ie. 'you're just the sub' Commitment and enjoyment
depends on so many things.
