Max group of 4. Attackers pair up with 2 pairs at each end of the practise. Use a third of the netball court. 2 defenders set up in the middle. 1 ball. One A starts with the ball. She passes to her partner who has made a move to get past a defender. First A then moves, taking on the other defender to receive the ball back from her partner, a 1-2 passing pattern. A then passes to another A at the front of the opposite line to where she started. Defenders mark tightly. Working As line up at the back of the opposite line to where they started. New As repeat.
Defenders mark tighly but do not come together. They should man to man mark where possible, putting the individual attacker under pressure to get free. Attackers need to take on the defenders with conviction and without hesitation. They must use definite moves, trying to outwit their defender and creating space to drive in to.

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.
