Fitness for a 14's team.

Fitness for a 14's team.

My 2017 season has just finished with my 13B team and I want to start making some session plans for next year now as I will be busy with work beginning of next year. The girls really need to do fitness and I know they enjoy it too which is great. If anyone has any suggestions please leave a comment.

Taken from a triathlon coach - paced running - to get extra running distance & increased fitness. Set a short course run, say 1.5km (or around the perimeter of the netball courts). Tell the girls they are going to do 3 paced laps: slow, medium & fast where they are timed for each lap and need to be quicker each time, with a 30 sec break between laps. It teaches them to pace themselves and usually they are impressed when they realise they've actually run 4+ km in one session. As a bonus, you can challenge them to an extra final lap at the end of training where they put everything into it and sprint the whole way.
