Jo, Netball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Mark out a square approx 15x15m and then split players into groups of 12 (where possible) and add 2 balls. The balls must start opposite to each other.

Players will recieve the ball from their left to start with.

The first players in line A and B start with the ball.
The first player in line C drives to the centre cone to recieve the ball from first player in line B. At the same time player 1 in line D drives and recieves the ball.
Both players release the ball in the centre and (1) - (2) release the ball to the player opposite them.
Repeat...

COACHING POINTS

Players need to be ready to recieve the ball at all times.

Players need to drive out to meet the ball - signally where you would like to recieve the ball.

Encourage players to land 1-2 release the ball.

Encourage players to communicate with one another throughout the whole practice - this will also help develop team cohesion.

Progression:

Increase distance of square
1 second on the ball
Chalenge your players: 20 passes without a drop
Vary the pass used
Add defenders to the centre to increase pressure

Change of direction:

The queueing players must sprint and change direction before receiving the ball from the feeder.

Once they've received the pass the ball is then passed onto the receiver (red 2) who passes back to the feeder.

Movement

Complete the square:

Working in a square in groups of 3 (with one corner left empty).

Player 2 sprints to the spare corner as player 1 starts to play the pass.

Upon receiving the ball blue 2 turns to throw the ball to the now empty corner which blue 3 sprints towards, ready to receive the pass.

Passing

Cones - run/balance/shoot:

One player, the feeder, starts on the edge of the circle. The other player, the worker (number 1 in the diagram) runs around one of the cones set out on the edge of the shooting circle, then drives back into the circle to receive the ball before making the shot.

Shooter collects the successful shot or rebound, passes back out to the feeder and repeats with an alternative cone.
