This category focuses on attacking movement, getting free, and creating shooting opportunities.These drills help attackers develop movement patterns, timing, and combination play.Perfect for attacking players from U12 through Senior level.Ideal for coaches building fluid, dynamic attacking units that create consistent scoring chances.
Attack in netball involves players keeping possession and passing the ball across the centre and goal zones to the shooting circle (court linkage), also known as the D.
Use the attack drills below to improve your players' ability to attack the D, move off the ball, compete for the ball, and pick the right passes for better court linkage (passing of the ball around the court) and practise 3 v 2 and 2 v 2 game situations.
Using these attack drills your players will understand court linkage and feeding to the shooting circle to create opportunities for your Goal Shooter (GS) and Goal Attack (GA).
The GA and GS are the only people from your team allowed in the shooting circle. It is only place your team can score from.

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.
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.
