The defending team (whites) split themselves up in each third as shown left. The attacking team (blacks) line up on either side of the post with a partner The attackers must pass the ball between them in their pairs to get past the defenders and up the court so they can shoot. Each defender is only allowed in the third they are in e.g. the GS and GA can't leave the goal third when defending. There must be at least 3 passes made in each third and the defenders can mark the shot. If a defender knocks the ball out of court, you take a throw in as normal, if they intercept and catch the ball then the ball is given back to the attackers and they rejoin the queue, filling the gap to give the 7th player a partner. Once one pair has reached the end and scored, they rejoin the queue. When the pair are on their way back to the queue, the next pair goes. Run the drill through as many times as you need, ensuring you switch the defending and attacking teams.
Tips:- Communication is key, make sure you are always talking to your partner and signalling where you want the ball- As a defender, make sure you and your partner are communicating. Are you marking player-on-player or zonal?

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.
