Netball: Round the Feeder Defending

Have two feeders passing a ball back and forth about 5m apart. 

Position two cones on either side of one feeder, making a gate. The defender has to run between one gate after an intercept, before making the next intercept, alternating sides.

The feeder at the opposite end has the option of holding onto the ball if the defender moves too early. If this happens then the other feeder who was set to receive the ball will move in between the cones that the defender has just come from, to receive the ball out to the side.

This will help the defender recognise if they are moving too early or too late and make them recover to move back for the intercept.

In pairs- 1 ball.  Stand behind each other jogging together up court.  Ball with backplayer.  She pops ball over head of front player who meets ball in air.  Back player then sprints in front of player who then pops ball over her head.  Continuous practice.

Two players chest pass the ball to each other. Defender (Green1) starts at the side of the receiver and attempts to intercept the pass in front of blue 2. As she becomes successful, the defender moves round the receiver until , eventually she is starting from directly behind her. She must not move until the ball is released.

Split the group into minimum of 3 people with one ball per group.

Player 2 runs to the side to receive ball from player 1.

They then turn and feed the ball to player 3 (the next player waiting in line).

Player 3 feeds the ball back to player 1 as player 2 moves quickly through to try and intercept the pass.
