Netball: Flip Out to Intercept

Have two players passing a ball back and forth about 5m apart. Set up 5 cones behind one of the players, in a semicircle behind them, about 2m away from them.

These cones will dictate the starting positions (with varying difficulty) of the defender.

The defender needs to stand by the first cone, before running in to intercept a pass to the player near them. They then pass the ball back to the opposite player, run to the next cone and back to intercept the next pass.

The purpose is to get 5 successful intercepts (one from each of the cones) in a row.

Split players into pairs with one ball and three cones, placed in a triangle. The feeder stands above the top of the triangle.

Using quick, small steps the worker has to rotate around the cones in a figure of 8 before then receiving the ball and returning it to the feeder at the top of the triangle.

Start slowly before gradually increasing the pace.

3 Blue players pass ball to each other and attempt to pass the ball to a static player White 4 (varying types of passes). Defender Green 1 adjusts positioning according to the position of the ball and she attempts to intercept feed.

Progression:-

Working in pairs, with one ball between two.

The player without the ball is the worker. They must drive forwards to the first cone immediately in front of them before running back to their starting point. From this position they should then drive out at a 45 degree angle to the cone either to the left or their right.

At this point the other player feeds a high pass for the player to jump and catch.

Repeat 5 times before changing over.
