Netball: Ball Handling and Coordination

Description

A Worker and 2 Feeders set up in a triangle about 3m away from each other and each player has a ball.

Worker throws the ball up in the air to start the drill.

Whilst their ball is in the air:

• F1 passes a ball and the worker catches it and puts it between their knees
• F2 then passes a ball, which the worker catches and immediately passes back to F2

The Worker then catches their own ball again.

Coaching points

• This helps your players with awareness
• The worker is put under pressure with catching
• They have to do things quickly, which means they have a lot to think about

Emphasise balanced stance, catching balls with both feet on the ground and the centre of mass above the feet.
