Work ball up and down court, everyone in each third has to touch the ball. Ball in front, reading off each other, looking for space. Strong hard attacking drives. Multiple Drives, Prelim moves 1st variation - within the third add 1 x lose ball. 2nd variation - add a reset, so ball goes back to previous third. Progression Add a floating Defender/Attaker in each goal third (wear a bib). Add extra player into centre third. Keep working up and down then you can finish on a shot.
Above all, itâs important that players perform basic skills well â passing the ball out in front, turning and opening up their hips and shoulders to deliver a pass, and doing strong preliminary movements. Players should remain active and move within their third the entire time, not just when the ball reaches their third. Try to avoid players driving into the same space for the same ball. Look for players to read off each other, clear out if they donât receive a pass, and generally keep the court âbalancedâ. Add dropped balls and reset balls to change the playersâ movement patters. Depending on how many players you have, add one or more defenders in each third to force players to work harder and beat an opponent to receive the ball in space.

A ready-to-run Halloween session for High 5 and junior netball. Real drills in spooky costume, with a warm-up, a technical block, a decision-making game and a finish.
Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
