Netball is a ball sports played by two teams of seven. Games
are played on a rectangle court with raised goal rings at each end. Each team
attempts to score goals by passing a ball down the court and shooting it
through the goal ring. Players are assigned to specific positions, which define
their roles within the team and restrict their movement to certain areas on the
court.
In this blog I will be identifying the psychological,
physiological, tactical and technical effects and abilities with two participants.

Millie
I used wagon wheeling to identify Millie’s physiological
strengths and weaknesses.
From this I can now identify Millie’s strengths and
weakness. I have found that Millie’s strengths are her flexibility and reaction
time these two aspects are needed within netball as when reaching for the ball
her flexibility will be needed and she may have an advantage with a good
flexibility rate. Her second strength is her reaction time and this is one
vital thing needed in netball for example when going in for a toss- up Millie’s
reaction time will be an advantage has she has good quick reaction time.
The weaknesses I have form analyzing netball matches
are her power to jump for the ball; she hasn't got much power which is needed
in netball as when jumping to intercept the ball from the opponent. Finally her
last weakness is her aerobic endurance Millie will need this in a netball match
so she doesn't lack in the third and final quarter of the match she will need
to maintain the same amount of energy and effort in every single quarter of the
netball match.
Darby
I also used wagon wheeling to identify physiological
strengths and weaknesses.
From this I can now identify Darby’s strengths and
weakness. I have found that Darby’s strengths are her flexibility and reaction
time these two aspects are needed within netball as when reaching for the ball
her flexibility will be needed and she may have an advantage with a good
flexibility rate. Her second strength is her reaction time and this is one

to maintain the same amount of energy and effort in every single quarter of the
netball match.
Overall Darby and Millie have the same results this
could be because they attend the same netball practice sessions and play or the
same netball team and have the same coach also this could be due to genetics as
they are sisters.
Tactical
To find out the strengths and weaknesses for tactical
components I asked Darby and Millie to identify player positioning.
Both Millie and Darby have a good knowledge of the player’s
positions, and how each player has a different role because they play netball
to a high standard they know all good tactics of the game as they will play
different positions and will know how each position has a different range of
tactics. For example a shooter and keeper will have different tactics to each
other as a shooter would try to get closer to the net while the keeper will try
to keep the shooter out of the area.
This is Darby in a match going to pass the ball, this image shows that Darby has good footwork.
This video show how Millie has good movement throughout the game. This is one of Millie's strengths.
