Netball: Line drive - through court movement

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...

Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Set up: One ball, full court, 5+ players.

1. Players line up down the middle of the court, evenly spaced.

2. Ball starts at one end and will simply be passed down to each player.

3. Players have to make a movement and time this with receiving the ball.

4. Player recieves a pass then turns and passes down the line.

COACHING POINTS

This simple drill is good for players to get the idea of the ball constantly travelling in a straight line.

Players have to learn to make a movement before receiving the ball.

Players should not be waiting to receive the ball, rather, be driving on to the ball.

PROGRESSION

Players should not wait to receive the ball, rather, be driving on to the ball.

Bring in defence to make this more challenging.

Players should alternate sides they drive to.

If you have a large squad you could have a competition between two lines.

Group practices

Lead Running - Group Practice:

Players stand in a line spaced down the length of the court and the player at the end starts with the ball.

When everyone is ready the next person in line runs out to receive the pass.

The receiver then pivots and throws to the next person who has run out to receive the pass. Once the ball gets to the other side the ball comes back in the same way.
