Can anybody help with a template/structure for a pre-season training schedule.Our club are evolving from a social netball team if mixed abilities (ages 20-40 ish) to a more competetive club with 1st & 2nd teams. We've never undergone any pre-season training before and I'm a newly qualified UKCC level 2 trying to get more experience at the same time as developing a training plan for the coming season.Any help/tips gratefully accepted.
i dont have any templates, but there are some really good lesson plans on here that might help. fitness and ball skills is always a good starting point, as well as footwork, defence and circle work. will give you a really good indication of who works well together, and who is more serious about their netball than others.
hope that helps.
I agree, pre-season is a great time to get back to the basics, with more of a focus on fitness and ball skills. You might want to consider having extra or longer practices during pre-season, so that you don't neglect group work and team strategies.
Experiment with differerent team line-ups, and include scratch matches. Set goals for the team, and each player, so that everyone is headed in the same direction.
It will take time for a team to gel, so be patient.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
