Remember these, coaches!
4 Mistakes Coaches Can Make
🚫 Pigeonholing Players Too Early
- Locking players into positions too soon can limit their development.
- Let them explore and grow into roles over time.
- Just because a player is tall, that does mean you should keep them as a defence or shooter, and just because a player is short, does not mean they can't play shooter.. Let players grow love for all areas on court regardless of their shape and size.
🚫 Coaches become involved in the session to make up numbers
- You don't need to practice your netball skills, so you being a number in an activity is pointless
- The players need to touch the ball as many times in a session as possible, that reduces if the coach is the passer etc
- if you are working, you are not giving 10 players your full attention
🚫 Forgetting to set expectations with parents early
- Your team culture starts with the sideline.
- Early conversations about support roles, communication, and values make all the difference.
🚫 Not delivering activities that look like the game at training
- Isolated activities might look good, but game-like activities help players transfer skills to game day. - - - -Training with game constraints is a MUST.
Technique > Speed > Fatigue > Pressure > Game play

Preach!
It's important to remember that most kids got into a sport because they love to play. Sometimes it's as simple as that.

How to handle risky play when your child's friends aren't allowed
Just because we allow our children to engage in risky play doesn’t mean the parents of our kids' friends will feel the same way.
