Netball: King Ball

I am so pleased with all of the drills and advice on rugby. I am a...

Mokie, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Each team has a King (player) standing on their bench.

The aim of the game is to get all your team's players (Kings) onto their bench.

To become a King, the players on the same team must successfully pass the ball between themselves to their existing Kings, abiding by the rules of netball, and the king must catch the ball without falling off the bench!

COACHING POINTS

Some players may choose to defend the other teams king(s) etc.

Dodge to receive and get the ball closer to the bench.

Variation:

Players must complete a set number of passes before being allowed to pass to their king.

Developing basic defensive skills for beginners

Ensure your team get their basic defence correct in order to build and develop their skills to secure to possession.

Attacking Principle - Dynamic movement to maintain possession of the ball

Don?t underestimate doing the basics effectively. Nailing your passing and receiving will be sure to open up defences.

Attacking Principles: Driving onto the ball to maximise centre pass success

Use a change of pace and develop players timing to provide the ball carrier with strong options in attack.

Attacking Principle: Straight Line Ball and Centre Pass Set Plays

Work on your team's straight line ball and centre pass set plays with this session!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Run vs pass game:

Two equal teams

The team on the outside have to run a relay around the outside of all the cones (each player runs around once).

Meanwhile the players in the middle have to pass the ball around the smaller square and see how many times they can pass the ball around their square in the time it takes the other team to all round the outside.

Swap teams.

Small games

Pass chase:

2 groups of 4 with one ball in each group standing in two interlocking squares.

The idea of the practice is that the ball starts on opposite sides and both teams pass the ball in the same direction around their square.

The teams are competing to pass the ball around their team the quickest and overtake the ball from the other group.

Small games

Ball Release Tag:

Designated players (catchers) attempt to tag other players.

Once tagged players must stand still.

Tagged players may only be released by catching a ball.

Small games

10 passes to score:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)
