Question

How do I play wing attack?

Community Answer

Wing attack doesn't have a special job like a goal shooter who shoots or a goal keeper who defends shots. Wing attack is there to get the ball to the shooter, so you need to be fast on your feet and alert.

Question

How do I avoid making contact with other players?

Community Answer

Be careful about where and how you are standing/running when your opponent receives the ball. You must also make sure not to pull or hit the ball out of a player's hand. Remember, don't push your opponent out of the way to get space to receive the ball. Although the ball may not be anywhere close to you or your opponent, you are still not playing fairly.

Question

I play goalkeeper and I'm in 1st team, but I feel like my coach only has me in GK because I have more experience in that position than others. What do I do?

Community Answer

Think this as a positive thing. Obviously your coach sees potential in you and that position. If you don't like GK, just train your hardest to work on the position you like to prove the coach wrong.

How do I get onto a netball team at school?

Practice. If you practice playing at home or with friends who are on the team, then you will get better. Also, when you try out, make sure to ask the coach for ways you can improve.

How do I keep up with netball programs if I'm doing a few?

Try to keep track using a calendar. If you find you can't keep up with all of the programs, stick with just one or two.

Question

What do I do if someone is trash talking in Netball?

Community Answer

Report them to the umpire. Trash talking is bad sportsmanship and that player will be spoken to or pulled off the court.

Question

How do I get back into netball after an injury?

Community Answer

Recover slowly. Start with little things and work your way back up like dingo some laps around a field, then do some throwing and catching practice, some agility and get your fitness back up. Drink lots of water and don’t push yourself too hard.

Question

How do I deal with the pressure when facing a good team in netball?

Community Answer

Breathe. When you're under pressure in anything, you need to breathe deeply, in your nose and out your mouth. You also need to try your best. Don't get caught up in the score. Sometimes, with really serious players, they get so caught up in the score and see that they are heavily losing and it gives them anxiety which causes them to play worse which makes them lose even worse. So every time you're facing a good team make sure you breathe, don't focus on the score and try your best, even if you lose to that team, failure always leads to success.

Question

How do I practice at home by myself to improve my Netball skill?

Community Answer

Buy a netball hoop, or if you can't, just chalk up a circle on the wall you're aiming to hit. Practice everyday a little bit further away until you're really accurate!

Question

I am a goal shooter/ goal attack. I am very good at shooting when I'm not in a game; however, when I begin to play with others watching me or in a game I completely crack and lose my confidence. What should I do?

Community Answer

You have 3 seconds. Don't rush it, take a deep breath, blur out the noise, picture the ball going in, focus on you and only you.
