Not set-play, rather working through options for backlines within the attacking circle. Asking players to consider: 1. How quickly can you set-up for the backline? Of what do you need to be aware in the preceding play? 2. Who is offering for ball? Are they holding a static space or are they prepared to move? 3. How are the defence angled? Are they man-on or marking space and what impact will that have on the pass? 4. What are the "back-up" options? How should players react if that plan has to come into play? In this instance, I have tried to show a few options from a similar set-up. For 1st phase: WA can be holding strong or driving on circle edge. GS strong hold under post with space for lifted ball For 2nd phase Quick 1-2 to GA Overhead to GS Swing to C for flat ball into GS All of this can quickly change by shift in angle from defender so if players have a grip on the principles, it's important to run through at full pace with defence working to combat!

The Wing Attack is the critical link between midcourt possession and circle feeding. This masterclass breaks down the movement patterns, timing, and spatial awareness that separate elite WAs from the rest, with practical drills to develop these skills at every level.
Footwork is the foundation of every skill in netball. This guide provides a clear explanation of the stepping rule, the mechanics of one-foot and two-foot landings, pivoting technique, and progressive drills to build footwork confidence from junior level upward.
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
