Netball: Communication in pairs

I found this service to be excellent and it was of great help when...

Jo, Netball Coach

DESCRIPTION

2 workers, 2 feeders, 2 balls, 1/3 court space.

1. Workers are in pairs. Starting in the middle of the feeders. Workers side step to the outside then back to centre of the court.

2. Feeders deliver a pass as workers cross over. Workers pass back.

3. Workers meet in the middle and navigate around eachother to receive a front pass from the feeders.

4. Workers pass back then straight drive towards the feeder, worker moves around the feeder.

5. Workers drive diagonallly from behind the feeder to receive a long pass from the opposite feeder in front of them.

COACHING POINTS

Everyone will need to communicate their timing in this drill for it to work.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Communication drill:

4 posts, 2 lines of players (workers), 1 ball, 1/3 space.

Ball to start with one of the workers who passes the ball to either the post on the left or right.

Player follows the pass and always drives back to the middle.

Worker number 2 drives to recieve pass from the first post in the middle and passes off to any post, and follows pass.

Post passes back to the other worker who will recieve the ball in the middle.

This is repeated until all posts have been passed to.

Roles & responsibilities

Delivering ball to shooters:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters

Set up:

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line.

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group.

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball.

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V.

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.

Shooting

Drop, React, Catch:

In partners: one player does quick feet in a slight squat position, looking at the ball with their hands by the sides of their heads.

The other player stands 2-3ft in front of them holding the ball in front just below the other player's head level (or lower if this is too easy).

The player with the ball lets go of it so that it falls towards the floor, and the other player reacts to catch it before it hits the floor.

Warm ups

10 Balls Anywhere:

Have the players get into pairs.

One player starts with the ball and drops, places or throws the ball in random places around a semi circular area.

The other player in the pair stands around a metre opposite keeping a close eye on the ball. They need to react as quickly as possible to gather the ball either before it bounces or after only 1 bounce.

After 10, have the players swap over so that the passer is now reacting to the ball.
