Working in groups of 3 with a ball. Feeder and 2 attacking players The attacking players need to be staggered so that one can see the other. Feeders throws the ball up to catch themselves to set the timing. The feeder is looking for 2 definite options on the ball, but they need to be into different space and sequential. The front attacking player should make a quick decision and be definite in the movement. They are the leader. The attacking player behind should find an alternative space. They are the reader. The feeder can choose either player to receive the ball. That player should catch the ball and turn fully to sight down the court. The player who did not receive the ball should change direction and look to reoffer on the straight line. Progression: Add in a defender, who should mark one of the attacking players (rather than space) You could choose to start at 70% defensive intensity and then build.
Quick and definite decision so the player behind can read off and make an alternate offer Even starting from behind, that offer must be definite and committed! Taking feet with you on the move, using arms to run, reaching out to grab in a ball placed ahead without leaping. Quick and definite decision so the player behind can read off and make an alternate offer Even starting from behind, that offer must be definite and committed! Feet under body at all times, using arms to run, the reaching out to grab ball in. Player receiving the ball, turn in the air if possible, or pivot fully, quickly and balanced to have full vision down the court. Player who did not receive the ball, make a sharp change in direction to cut back, looking to take the next pass further down the court, ideally in a straight line. Ball should be placed ahead of player in a straight-line (rather than cross court - this becomes more important when defender added).

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
