Technique; - Backwards movement; Eyes are always on the ball, body in the ready position --> what is the ready position (recap)? Keep base wide (why?) to prevent tripping yourself up, lead backwards with one leg, similar to sidestepping, but in a diagonal type fashion. Switch leg after a couple of moves backward. Signal with the hand for a ball. - Change of direction; Body weight over base, knees and ankles flexed; eyes on the ball and thrower; run forward, and plant the outside foot (which foot is the outside foot?) and drive in the opposite direction; turn the hips for the drive in the direction of the sprint; knees high to drive the sprint; use the hand to indicate for the ball. - Change of speed; Keep the body upright in the jog/slower pace (why upright?); use a couple of smaller steps to intiate the sprint; indicate with outstretched hand for the ball.

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.
