5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic tcoaching tool, June 22, 2008
By 
This review is from: Netball: Steps to Success (Paperback)
I have recently signed up to coach a team of U11 girls who have never played netball before. I have started using the drills contained within this book and am noticing a difference in the way the girls now play and handle the ball. I showed a mum of one of my girls, who is also coaching her elder daughters team and she ordered the book too. It is a fantastic tool. The girls look forward to training to find out what it is they will be doing on that day. They love it.
The drills are easy to follow and follow a progression from basic to more complex. Do your players a favour and BUY it!
