Netball: Interception Square

Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...

DESCRIPTION

Working in 2 teams players must make passes across the square. When the ball reaches the other side it counts as a point. The teams work in opposite directions, one team horizontally (blue), one team vertically (green).

Players on the outside edge can move up and down the length of their line, but can not move off it.

Players in the centre of the square can move anywhere within the square but must make sure they are aware of the players around them.

The focus of the practice is on the defenders.

The 2 defenders (red) work inside the square and can only intercept passes from their allocated team.

COACHING POINTS

Players along the sides need to moving all the time and reacting to the position of the player in the box

defenders must keey an eye on both the player on the edge and making the pass

defenders should think about their body position - wide stance, arms out and up following the ball.

Progression:

Defenders can intercept either ball (make sure they communicate!)

Decrease the size of the square.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Interception - group activity:

Red 2 has the ball and red 1 starts in the opposite corner

Blue 1 runs forward and Red 2 passes a diagonal pass to Blue 1

Red 1 moves on a diagonal to intercept the pass

Following the interception red 1 feeds a straight pass onto Blue 2

Red 2 then runs straight to receive a diagonal pass from Blue 2 and Blue 1 moves across to intercept this pass.

Interception

Interception Circle:

Maximum of 8 players form the outside of a circle with 2 defenders inside and 1 ball.

Defenders have to work together to intercept the ball and should communicate to each other by calling who is marking the ball and who is marking the space in order to work more effectively.

Interception

Interception Triangle:

The defender (green 1) attempts to intercept the ball as it is passed between 3 static players.

It's important that the three attacking players are not standing too far away from each other.

Focus on the defender.

Interception

Jumping Intercept 2:

Player 1 has the ball. The middle player takes two steps forward to receive a high ball from player 1. He feeds the ball back to player 1 and then moves to the line as player 1 passes to player 2. The middle player moves back to intercept a pass from player 2 to player 1.
