Netball: Statue of Liberty

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...
Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

In pairs,

  • 1 player - the statue - holds a ball aloft in one hand. Partner runs, leaps and snatches the ball, lands with the correct footwork,
  • Once theabove is achieved with balance, add a turn once the player has landed so player is facing the same way she has come from and returns the ball to partner.
  • Once the ball has been snatched, the statue could sprint to another point to receive the ball before the exercise is repeated.
    Progress this practice through all 3 stages until all players are balanced
