Group is split into two groups (or in same teams). Each group has to form a circle, each player must be 2 metres from the others. The ball can then be passed around the circle in any order. In the middle will be a defender, their job is to intercept the ball. If the ball is intercepted and caught, they must swap with whoever threw it. The object of the game is to focus on keeping the ball away from the defender but, also for the defender to work on their interception techniques. (If the ball has not been caught within 2 minutes, swap them out with another player)

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.
