I'm coaching 8 Yr olds, the majority haven't played before. Just need some guidance. Thank you. :)

Hi Rachael,
Half-Court game is pretty standard. You need 8 players and you can get away with one set of bibs, but it works best with two different colours.
Team 1 is C, WA, GA, GS
Team 2 is C, WD, GD, GK (if only using one set of bibs then the defensive C goes without)
Play starts from a centre pass for Team 1. They are attempting to score a goal. Team 2 are attempting to stop them and "score" by getting the ball out from defence to level with the centre circle.
Restart can be either just another centre pass to Team 1, or you can alternate between Centre Pass for Team 1 and Goal Line Throw In for Team 2.
All other normal netball rules apply.
Hope this helps.

Hi Simon, Many thanks for your help! I`ll definately give it a go at our next training session. :)

No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
Train your defenders to win clean turnovers, not just disrupt. The difference between good defenders and great ones is taking the ball, not just touching it.
Netball is experiencing unprecedented growth, with record viewership, evolving rules, and professional leagues expanding worldwide. Here's what 2026 brings for our sport.
