Passer (blue) stands in the circle. Attacker (black) stands in position. Defender (red) has to keep on their toes and bounce around, alternating sides trying to either deflect pass (focusing on outside arms) or intercept pass by catching the ball (using two hands). They also need to keep as close (body on body) to the attacker as possible without forcing or creating contact.

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.
