3-5 players, 1 ball, 1/2 court space.
1 player, the feeder stands on the third line with the ball.
The other two players (workers) stand about 3 metres away facing away from the feeder.
The workers jog away from the feeder. When the feeder calls "turn" or "go" both workers turn and drive towards the ball in anticipation to catch the pass.
The feeder can choose either players to pass the ball to.
This can be set up with two sets of workers and the feeder can alternate between each set of partners.
The worker who does not receive the pass can then defend the return pass back to the feeder.
Encourage the competitive element, players are to drive hard into the pass from the feeder and 'beat' their partner.
The feeder has to make a decision on who to pass the ball to and the workers have to be ready.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
