Netball: Taking on two defenders

Improve your attacking players' preliminary moves - to help them outwit their marker and get free to receive the pass

Develop your players understanding of the importance of fast footwork to deceive their opponent and gain more chances on goal.

In a designated area, using lines or cones, the white team must attempt to dodge past each defending player.

Defending players can only use sideways movements in order to prevent this.

3 attacking player are the GA, WA, GS.

Centre passes the ball to GA, GA to WA, and WA to GS.

After every attack start again in the same positions.

WA starts wide drawing the WD with her. GA also starts wide.

The GA drives should time their run in court to receive the ball.

The WA drives in court to receive the pass from the C who then runs up court to receive the return pass.

The C then catches the ball and plays to the GA who has made the run to the other side to lose their marker and then passes to the GS to complete the move.

C - WA - C - GA - GS
