Three players will be in a group two will face eachother with a player in the middle. The role of the player in the middle is to stop the ball before it gets to the player at the other cone. The reason this is important is because as a defender you need to be able to intercept a ball by reacting quickly so that your team have possesion and can hopefully go on to score. If the ball is not intercepted correctly then the other team will have a chance at scoring a point.

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.
