Dear Friends,
I am a new member & I want to say thankyou to those
involved for letting me be a part of this group. Currently I joined this group
to help & advise other people who need help, advice, tips or just to let
any frustrations out to someone who cares.
I have been involved in Netball by form of a netball parent,
player, coach & team manager over 35 years.
I would really appreciate anyone out there who requires
feedback, help, ideas or any questions answered on NETBALL.
I look forward to reading replies to this email and look
forward to meeting new people. Till then. Take Care.
I'm coaching a team of teenagers so I can relate in some way to what you are experiencing at the moment. The girls I take are very experienced players.
You have a bunch of teenagers who are learning the game of netball. The best thing for you to do at this point is teach them the basics of the game. It really depends on each person's skill level in netball too. Beach training is a good idea for fitness.
At training start off with a warm up, running around the courts, a quick game of touch on the court, a game of tag etc, something to warm the body up, next would be stretching, let them talk amongst themselves, this will help them bond together as a team, next would be ball skills, basic chest passes, bounce passes, side passes, lobs etc, let them do all sorts of passes for at least 10 - 15 minutes but show them how to execute the passes properley from the beginning, next get them to do a drill - depending on their netball skill level, if they are new to the game of netball show them in's & out's, 50/50 etc something basic till they get that right. After that concentrate on game play, it maybe something to do with intercepting, feeding, getting the ball from one end of the court to the other etc, you would then let them have a game using 1/2 a court or get a team of parents to play against your team, tell the girls that
the aim of this game is to acheive the game play drill that they learnt in training. After the game play you would get them to cool down and very important to get them to do their stretches.
I hope this has helped you in some way, I would go into more detail but then I would start writing a book for you. If you have any other questions let me know Nikki and I'll help or send something to you as best as I can. Give me your feedback and keep in touch. Thanks.

I coach an under 11 team that win by about 40 goals every week. They are a very

Roxanne, just to clarify - the GD or GK can't go off the court to defend the goaler, but she doesn't have to let her re-enter the court - so running via the baseline may not necessarily fix the problem.

I really encourage the touchy feely stuff in all drills. Also
with my girls I let them know that it is ok for them to be put out of play, as
they will learn over time what the umpires will call and what they don’t. Basically,
if you cant feel your player they are too far away and under no circumstances
are you allowed to let another player push you around!! I apply this rule to
all drills.

awesome Roxanne Thanks lots!! back to basics really aye, I did the bounce pass option to start with and it went really well it was actually a huge workout for them which they really enjoyed and felt challenged by!!
this is all good stuff, great idea about setting back further, thankyou
Ive just got back from tauranga today went to watch the Magic vs Vixens game live, REALLY AWESOME, the Magic winning was of course a major factor of the enjoyment but sorry weve gotta take what we can since we're getting no wins over your side of the ditch!!!
but great live, actually seeing the intensity, the speed of the ball and the big match ups as well.
Must say I love sharelle and everything about her shes so tough and dynamic in everything she does, I think Casey had a great game against her but of course playing the best lifts your standard. Roll on the finals can't wait!!

How did you go?
This habit of dropping for a lob would have to be one of the most annoying habits that people get into!
In future work on drills that use front cuts and driving onto the ball. I agree with Steve, play games where they can only use a shoulder, chest or bounce pass.
Also get the girls to set up further down the court on a turnover - Back line throw in - Centre should be back near the centre circle , GA is near the top of the shooters circle and WA behind the transverse line. This will give them lots of room to drive onto a ball.
Do lots of dodging and driving skill work. ( and make the ladies dodge using 2 – 3 steps in the dodge rather than the good old fashioned 1 step dodge)

If players learn to drive down court and then across to receive this works well. Throwers also need learn to wait till they run across.

?
What you can try, is playing a game of half court where players are only allowed to Bounce Pass. This teaches them that they have to drive forward in front of the defender to get the ball. Hopefully they will see that it is much easier to get the ball this way no matter what type of pass they are recieving, and they will drive forward in front of the defender in the game. There are longer ways to lead up to this but sounds like you are short on time. :)
I have a senior womens team and we are constantly relying on lobs to get the ball through the court inside of cut and drives.
Do you have some great save my bacon drills that I can work with them on we have a training tonight for a major game tomorrow and this team will clean us up if we dont drive out for the ball.
So if you have anything that can help me I would be MOST greatful, specifically around driving, drawing and and driving again all through court.
Down court, especially in transition after a turn over
all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
We start at 6.00pm tonight so maybe 4.00pm your time??

One that I have done that gives them a bit of an idea on how to ‘break through’ and forward is:
Have two players/posts standing a couple of metres apart along the transverse lines
Each hold a ribbon loosely between them – so it stretches along the transverse line
Players have to break through the ribbon to get the pass over the line.
This gives them a good visual reference on how to get through, as players often go as far as the defence, but no further.
Another one that I came up with for my daughter’s team is to get them lined up on the transverse lines and ask them to make a ‘Y’ (you know, a YMCA one) and then bring it down to show them the angles they’re allowed to run – then get them to practice running those angles. Sounds a little odd, but they really picked it up – so it does work for that age group.
AND, anther one as a warm up drill is to have the players jogging around in the centre third, and the person with the ball has to call out the name of a player. That player has to run straight to the person with the ball to get a pass (as if they were running to touch them on the nose). This is a good one to teach them that forward isn’t always forward down the court, but towards the player with the ball.

So if you have anything that can help me I would be MOST greatful, specifically around driving, drawing and and driving again all through court.
Down court, especially in transition after a turn over
all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
We start at 6.00pm tonight so maybe 4.00pm your time??
THANKS SO MUCH

One that I have done that gives them a bit of an idea on how to ‘break through’ and forward is:
Have two players/posts standing a couple of metres apart along the transverse lines
Each hold a ribbon loosely between them – so it stretches along the transverse line
Players have to break through the ribbon to get the pass over the line.
This gives them a good visual reference on how to get through, as players often go as far as the defence, but no further.
Another one that I came up with for my daughter’s team is to get them lined up on the transverse lines and ask them to make a ‘Y’ (you know, a YMCA one) and then bring it down to show them the angles they’re allowed to run – then get them to practice running those angles. Sounds a little odd, but they really picked it up – so it does work for that age group.
AND, anther one as a warm up drill is to have the players jogging around in the centre third, and the person with the ball has to call out the name of a player. That player has to run straight to the person with the ball to get a pass (as if they were running to touch them on the nose). This is a good one to teach them that forward isn’t always forward down the court, but towards the player with the ball.

Sorry I didn’t get back to you – my father passed away a couple
of weeks ago, and I’ve been a bit disconnected from everything.
Too late now, but looks like you got some good advice.
I think nearly everything I do has a breaking forward component,
and I keep hammering that home as much as I can. I’ll take some time to look at
some drills I’ve made up to see if any suit – but it might be a little while.

This habit of dropping for a lob would have to be one of the
most annoying habits that people get into!
In future work on drills that use front cuts and driving onto
the ball. I agree with Steve, play games where they can only use a shoulder,
chest or bounce pass.
Also get the girls to set up further down the court on a
turnover - Back line throw in - Centre should be back near the centre circle ,
GA is near the top of the shooters circle and WA behind the transverse line.
This will give them lots of room to drive onto a ball.
Do lots of dodging and driving skill work. ( and make the ladies
dodge using 2 – 3 steps in the dodge rather than the good old fashioned 1 step
dodge)

If players learn to drive down court and
then across to receive this works well. Throwers also need learn to wait till
they run across.

What you can try, is playing a game of half court where
players are only allowed to Bounce Pass. This teaches them that they have to
drive forward in front of the defender to get the ball. Hopefully they will see
that it is much easier to get the ball this way no matter what type of pass
they are recieving, and they will drive forward in front of the defender
in the game. There are longer ways to lead up to this but sounds like you are
short on time. :)
