I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching plans for my under 9's netball team.
Can someone run through the best warm up stretches to do and should they be done prior to or after cardio warm up? This is for kids netball (10 and under)
What should I do on a first coaching session ? I don't want the girls to get bored, i want them to want to come back next week.
I am starting to coach a new U12's team this year with a friend. What are some fun and creative drills that will get them used to a coach they don't know?
What are some good warm up drills that could be used with a group of approximately 20-30 girls? I need to make sure they are all doing something otherwise they get distracted and lose their concentration.
What would you consider to be a good 15min warm up before a game in limited space for 11 year olds?
What would a warm up be either before a game or at training
We do warm up pre matches using dynamic stretches & some drills but our first quarter is often our worst - does anyone have any good pre match warm up drills they can suggest as I do t think ours getting the team match ready Asked using Sportplan on Mobile
What are ways you can fire up your team before taking the court? during our warm up we seem pumped and ready to go, but soon as the whistle goes we seem to be extremely flat and make way too many mistakes. we are a strong team but we have to play catch up because of our first quarter. are there certain things we can add into our warm up to make sure we are all ready to go? or does anyone have a good speech that always say before a game starts?
what is you favourite warm up before a game for netball? and ideas?thanks
Hi there, Im coaching my childrens netball team and actually don't know much about netball. I have downloaded the 'Defensive moves to secure possession' plan so we can do some work but I don't understand what 'rolls, forward and back drives and weaves' are, have you got some examples so I can understand what these moves are?ThanksShae
I need a high performance training session for netball players. Can you assist?
I am coaching a team of teenagers, who have lost the majority of their games. They are improving and still in good spirits. However I find they start the game really rough, sometimes it continues to go down hill, but often they have a really good second half. How can I get them to start strong? Do I need to look at my warm up???
I have completed my first weekend of this course and soon to do the second which involves planning and running a 20 min session, I don't know where to start, can anyone help who has done this course please

What are some good training drills or activities for a junior teams very first practice. My under 9's team (10 players) are all brand new to netball and I want to make sure they learn but also enjoy training. Any suggestions for initial drills or activities would be appreciated
I am coaching a team of 8-9yr olds one of which is deaf. I am having problems getting anything to help me with this. Also I am wanting to print off some simple warmup drills eg basic run to first third walk back knees up walk back etc but have picturs for her aswell, but the session planner is more advance than this- I am wanting to do the same warm up for the start of each training and game. Any help ould be fantastic!!!

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
