Hey, all of you.
Here's a follow up on Cheryl's post about NC(netball carns). I've rearranged the points so that I added in things from outside sources as well like IFNA. Yes.
International Federations of Netball Associations.

Defending

DEFENSIVE POSITIONS:

GK:
-last line of defense for team
-be aware of what is happening out in front
-read attacking team's moves
-good anticipation to take interceptions.

GD:
-prevent GA from getting into the circle
-quite a lot of space to cover
-attacking skills needed to get the ball out of defending third.

WD:
-defend WA.
-defend tightly round the circle and be ready to pounce on any lost balls.
-attack well
-backup role for attackers down court.

DEFENDERS NEED:
Good footwork
move quickly or to catch a high ball
To read the play
anticipate where ball is going
Variety
vary style of defense.try to make the attacker start thinking about what YOU might do and not just their own play.
Perseverance
often you don't reap your hard work til the end of the game. when attackers start making mistakes, credit goes to defenders.

REMEMBER:
If you play in defense you also need to practice attacking to get the ball to the net. Everyone works towards that net.




Attacking

CENTRE COURT POSITIONS
C:
-main link between defenders and shooter.
-controls pace of game
-change quickly from defense to attack
-endurance and speed
-timing of run into areas of court.

WA:
-main feeding player on court
-passing and sprinting, primarily.
-acceleration, speed, quick change of directions needed
- excellent ball handling skills
-quick, accurate decisions
-create space to feed shooters into best shooting positions

ATTACKERS NEED:
Excellent ball skills
it will be a waste of all effort to lose the ball in centre court
Good leading,dodging
get away from your opponent as fast as possible
Endurance
be strong emotionally. doesnt mean youre losing you dont try hard
To change from defending to attacking quickly
centre court is a precarious position when you lose the ball. dont try to save it at the last minute, try to intercept it in centre court.
To support teammates
often shooters and defenders lose heart and concentration when the opponent team is winning. centre courters must show them encouragement and strength

REMEMBER
You are the spiriters of the game. You heave your shoulders, the team heaves her shoulders. You raise your head, she raises her head.

Shooting

SHOOTING POSITIONS
GA and GS
-work well together
-find space in circle all the time
-communication; eye contact, shouting, gestures all are needed in game play
-tough mentally and physically
-concentration essential when shooting
-vary style of game all the time
-vary timing of shot
-defend well
-pressure opposing team all the way down court
-don't worry about missed shots - focus on getting ball back

REMEMBER:
Practice makes perfect. All effort will be wasted if you don't get the ball in.
When shooting; aim, breathe, shoot.

That's all for THE DAY. There are actually loads more I want to say but no, I don't want to overload information.
