Working in pairs in a small space with a ball and a cone/marker. Attacking player âmovesâ to cone; when they reach the cone, the feeder will send the ball straight ahead for the working player to drive (sprint) onto. The "moves" vary as follows: Walking Skipping Sidestep Jogging Progression: feeder can choose to through the short ball ahead of themselves or give a lofted pass towards where the attacking player started.
To encourage a change of pace, we start by demonstrating clear changes of pace, and showing what players can achieve with a strong drive The space should be small enough for success to be achieved with a committed drive onto the ball, but large enough for them to have to sprint onto the pass. Feet under body, turning head and hips when driving onwards, and use of arms to help with momentum change. With progression, ensuring the hips change and they run onto the back ball rather than back peddling or side-stepping, which will never to as fast!

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.
