  2. To further let the game flourish it is best to increase the participation of children in the game and provide them with the necessary training. Here are some important beginner junior netball drills - Shooting – Starting right away from shooting drills can be exhausting for the children, ultimately lowering down their interest in the game, which is why it is important to make the game fun. Most coaches start with the acronym – B.E.E.F. to introduce the shooting drills in the game. Here is what the acronym stands for – 1.B for Balance – Be very sure your legs are steady by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Your feet should be pointing towards the goal. 2.E for Eyes - keep your eyes on the ring and focus – that is where the ball should go. 3.E for Elbow –Extend your arms close to your ear with your elbows facing the ring. As you bend your arms backwards, ensure that your elbows maintain the same position before releasing the ball. 4.F for Follow Through - Follow through by extending your elbow and brushing your wrist as you release the ball and shoot for the net.

  3. Stepping –Again, make the drill a fun portion of the game is exactly what does the benefit for the kids. Some coaches are of the belief that the ICE CREAM game is a popular and fun netball drill that the junior players not to take the step during the game. During the drill all players line up along the baseline and are then asked to run until the whistle is blown. At the sound of the whistle the players have to give a low jump and have to land on one foot with knees slightly bent while they yell out ‘ICE’. Then as the back foot comes down they yell out ‘CREAM’ while pivoting the grounded foot ‘IE’. This is to set in a reminder for them that the first foot must stay on the ground.

  4. Catching & Passing –One of the most important netball skillsthat children must specifically learn is catching and passing – considering the immense role that it plays all through the game. To start with this drill get all the players to stand in a circle and pass the bean bags as if they were balls to their left and then to their right aiming for chest height. Focus and accuracy can be first developed by keeping only small distance between the players but then increasing it over a number of practice sessions.
