Two attackers (C and WA) pass the ball between them (static) whilst defender runs in a figure of 8 around them. At key points when WD is behind or beside an attacker about the receive the ball, WD will intercept the ball and then feed it back to the attackers to repeat.
Timing is key! - ensure that working defenders (WD in this case) focus on getting their timing of interception accurate, ensuring they run onto the ball, even if it means waiting for a moment behind the attacker before intercepting. Initially let the participants run through the drill before giving coaching points then ask for feedback. Beginners or those less familar with the drill will run around the attacker normally, after this some may have considered quicker tactics for getting around the attacker (ie. rolling off the attacker by doing a reverse pivot).

The Wing Attack is the critical link between midcourt possession and circle feeding. This masterclass breaks down the movement patterns, timing, and spatial awareness that separate elite WAs from the rest, with practical drills to develop these skills at every level.
Footwork is the foundation of every skill in netball. This guide provides a clear explanation of the stepping rule, the mechanics of one-foot and two-foot landings, pivoting technique, and progressive drills to build footwork confidence from junior level upward.
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
