'Netball Training Games'

This manual contains a collection of 45 fun and exciting netball related games providing coaches and teachers with more variety in their training sessions and lessons.

‘How can I keep my netball team interested and motivated at training? 

Answering the question above was the motivating force for us to put together this coaching resource. As coach educators, we are often asked variations of this type of question. From our combined thirty years coaching experience we know that training sessions are enlivened with the addition of games practicing netball skills! 

This manual is practical and is in an easy to use format that will assist netball coaches and teachers to inject an extra dimension into netball training sessions and lessons.

The 4th Manual in the Netskills Series provides you with all the Specialist activities you will need to help your players learn the skills of their specific area of the court.

Aimed at players from 12 years and up, this coaching manual can help provide exciting results for your individual players and team as a whole! This book is designed to provide all levels of coaches with easy-to-follow activities necessary to develop ‘specialist skills’ within their team. 

As a coach, one of your many and important challenges is to develop players who are not only skilled in the game of netball – but also masters of the positions they specialise in.

As players move on from learning general skills such as catching, throwing, footwork, attacking and defending, it is crucial a coach has the skills and resources to give each player extensive teaching and development in their preferred position and court area. Equally important is to ensure all players gain an understanding of their non-preferred positions – giving them a better awareness of their opposing players’ strategies.
