Netball: Coach Calls

Sometimes the ball is delivered near a line. These drills can help with ball handling skills and balance.

1. In partners, one feeding one working. Worker is to stay stationary and receive passes from the feeder in an arching movement. Worker is to stretch to reach the ball and extend as far as they can.

2. Partners work along the baseline. Worker to have one foot on the line. Passer to deliver a ball outside of the court, worker to recive the ball whilst stay inside the court. 

3. Worker runs along base line and recives a pass on the go. Passer delivers the pass just outside the court. Worker to recieve the ball at a stretch and pass back to feeder. 

Team forms a large circle.

Two balls start at opposite sides of the circle.

The balls are passed around clockwise to every second person. 

Both balls are trying to catch up with the other ball.
