Just taken on a senior coaching role, and the biggest thing i have seen is there is too much hesitation before passing the ball. Does anyone know any...
One I like to do (& so do players) is Netball Tag. Divide group into 2 teams (generally, no more than 8 a side, no less than 5) In one third one team is "it"...

Hi, When umpiring and a goal is scored on my side I am the one to whistle for play. I never thought that if the other player(centre)(on the other umpire's...
Hi Margaret. Yes, if you are the umpire blowing the centre pass whistle, you are responsible for obstruction and contact by the other centre. Thanks, Stephen...
Yes this is correct, when it is your centre whistle. Even if that centre is in the other umpires half. As you have control of the centre until you blow your...
The umpire that blows the centre pass whistle has control of the centre pass until the Centre passes the ball. If the defending Centre is obstructing, you...
Hi all I have had a feast of netball on TV this weekend - how WONDERFUL has the coverage been? Now, I saw Mo'onia Gerard do this really tricky thing. wondered...
Wouldn’t you be called for Contact by placing your hand on the GK’s shoulder ? Stephen Bignell IT Support Winshop Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd PH : 1300...
Michelle, Are you getting your netball coverage on pay TV or free to air stations? We don't have pay TV and I was thinking that there was no coverage at...
Michelle, I was unfortunate to not see the netball on TV but by reading this my first reaction is that she cannot use the GK's shoulders for leverage. If the...
Hi all, The shoulder thing is deemed to be Not within the spirit of the game and would be penalised. Sometimes when it happens an umpire is so surprised by it...

I missed that move, but I thought that would be a penalty because the GK is out of play. It has been fantastic having so much netball coverage though! I'm in...
Hi Michelle I didnt see the coverage this weekend but what you have described is exactly what she did in the last world cup. As a umpire in my opinion as long...
HI all, I'm certainly no umpire but the player out of play can take NO PART in the play, they can't talk(give instructions etc.) so therefore I'd say offering...
Interesting discussion!!! I watched it again tonight - and showed my husband, who is a passionate umpire - and his take was that because she involved a player...
OK. I'm on a bit of an ANZ Championship high - it's been great. For those that got to see the games - wowsers! They have been fantastic! Here's a point for...
I just watched the replays of the netball from the weekend. I watched the last half Magic vs Thunderbirds game and then the Swifts vs Steel game and I have to...
Michelle, The solution is as you have said yourself. It is up to the umpires to recognise dangerous play and take the necessary action. Players using this sort...

There was quite a lot of difference in the style of games played all over. And there does seem to be a difference of opinion on what is and isn't contact. My...

rebounds and TO would be turnovers but I'm not usre what the others would be Cheers, ...
