Set up the drill with 7 players. Each stands in a 'pizza slice' area. There will be one free 'slice' as drawn in the diagram. Start without a ball and players are to run into the free space. You cannot run into a space next to your area. This drill gets them making eye contact or talking to each other. Progression 1: Speed up the drill. Progression 2: add a ball Progression 3: add a defender/s After this, try making the pizza slices the size of one third, and they must pass into every slice to score. Drill can also be done as squares, using three players. Just always have one empty area for it to work. You could have players nominating who is running into the space next by calling their name.

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.
