Netball: Providing Options Around the Circle

WA starts wide drawing the WD with her. GA also starts wide.

The GA drives should time their run in court to receive the ball.

The WA drives in court to receive the pass from the C who then runs up court to receive the return pass.

The C then catches the ball and plays to the GA who has made the run to the other side to lose their marker and then passes to the GS to complete the move.

C - WA - C - GA - GS

In this exercise you have two feeders and then three attackers against two defenders.

The first feeder (player x) starts the drill with a pass to white player 1.

White player 1 has to pivot and then try and pick out the unmarked player.

The defenders have to pick up one white player each and make the interception if the ball is passed to the player they've picked up.

Set up as shown in diagram.

Two attackers, one defender. Attackers drive in different directions and the feeder has to pass the ball to the attacker who the defender chooses to mark.

• Split lead: start staggered, front attacker leads. One attacker should wait for the other to move first and then move into the other space so that both attackers don't end up going the same way.
• Attackers drive out in separate directions and the defender chooses one to mark

Once the first attacker has received the ball, the other attacker then cuts back ready to receive the next pass. If the defender fails at the first intercept they should drop back to the 3ft mark ready to attempt an intercept on the 2nd pass.

In a designated area, using lines or cones, the white team must attempt to dodge past each defending player.

Defending players can only use sideways movements in order to prevent this.
