The passing player (C) will stand with their back to the other three players. Then the whistle is blown and the GA and WA (attacking players) will run out to each area of space. The centre will pivot round and make the split decision throwing to the free player. The defender will mark one of the players preventing them from getting free and the attacking players will be into space to receive the ball.
The players are to use the free player whilst the defender is to commit tight to their 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.
