Publisher's Synopsis
This book offers a comprehensive guide to planning netball training sessions with an emphasis on decisionmaking. Ensuring a player is equipped with the technical and tactical skills should not be the only focus of a coach, and by integrating practices that incorporate decision-making, a coach is successfully preparing a player for the demands of competition. The book outlines a range of practices for integrating game principles, skills, and tactics for all units of the court. The book includes 180 practices with progressions for decision training; sections addressing warm-up activities, movement skills, attack, defense, and shooting; a section showing how a coach can integrate sport psychology into their practices; information boxes containing key points and detailed analyses of the movement and individual skills in netball; reviews of the tactical aspects and game principles in attack and defense; and supporting information on differentiating a practice for players of different levels of ability.
