In groups of 5, 2 attackers, a feeder and a defending player. Feeder sends the pass to either attacking player. Start with that attacking player remaining static. The defending player comes out from behind for the intercept. Whoever recieved that first pass (the attacking player if the defending player has missed, or the defending player with a successful intercept) send the pass back to the feeder. The attacking player will then make a srong movement/drive towards the top of the circle. The feeder sends a lift ball in that direction. The defending player looks to intercept. Progression: increase the intensity of the attacking player movement.
Defending player has to be dogged in their efforts in this drill. Always taking feet with them, under the body, ready to adjust and recover and go again. Run all the way to the ball, no leaping, lunging or flying through the air. Use of arms for momentum to run then the reach to pull that ball in early.

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.
