Netball: Fight for Ball (Moving In)

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

Jo, Netball Coach

DESCRIPTION

- The attackers start side by side about 4m away from the feeder, facing the feeder.
- They slowly jog backwards together as a pair.
- When the feeder shouts go they both change to running forwards and the feeder throws a straight chest pass to the middle of them for whoever is in front to grab.

Challenge your players to be the first to 5.

COACHING POINTS

Attackers have to be level for the feeder to shout go.

Snatch ball in to protect possession
Watch the ball not their feet

Fight for the Ball (Moving Away):

Feeder starts with 2 attackers, 1 on each side. Feeder bounces the ball forwards and the 2 attackers race to grab the ball.

Keep score, first attacker to 5 wins.

Movement

Follow Ball - Part 1:

Split players into groups of 7/8 with 1 ball.

Players stand into 2 lines facing each other with 1 feeder in the middle on their own at an angle.

Player 1 starts with ball, throws to 'Feeder' who sprints forward to recieve the ball on the cone
The receiver lands on 1 and releases the ball on 2 to the player waiting at the opposite queue.
The receiving player then joins the opposite queue. The player at the front now with the ball repeats the process.

Movement

Drive to receive:

2 players; 1 feeder and 1 worker standing a metre apart.

The worker must drive to the left before changing direction and running back to receive the ball in the middle where they pass back to the feeder.

Repeat 10 times in total (5 times to the left and 5 to the right) before changing over.

Movement

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.
