The attacking players line up behind the third line and the centre stands in the centre circle with the ball. The goal keeper stands in front of the line of attack to act as a shadow defender. The first player in the line takes a couple of steps convincingly to the left and then drives out to the right in order to lose the defender. Once everyone has done this 5 times, switch the side you drive out to so that players are comfortable dodging in both directions.
If this becomes to easy for players ask teh defender to make it more difficult for the players so they have to either drive faster or double up the dodge they do.

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.
