Netball: Cut and drive

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set up: 1 ball, one third space, 1 feeder in between 2 lines of players in partners.

Feeder sends ball into open court space.

Players contest for the loose ball. Player who does not receive the ball becomes the defender. Defender gets three feet and arms over the ball.

Player with the ball passes back to feeder. 

Set up: one third space, one ball between two, cones (one between two).

One partner to be standing on the third line with the ball facing the baseline.

Other partner starts on the baseline, drives out to cone (about halfway down the third), turns and drives back to the baseline. Turns again and accelerates to partner who is holding the ball. 

Play should recieve pass before the cone. 

Players work in pairs with 1 ball, standing 2 metres apart.

1. The worker drives forward and touches the ball in feeder's hand.
2. They then angle their body to the right and move back 3-4 steps.
3. The feeder places the ball on the worker's right hand side.
4. The worker retrieves the ball and is then passed back to feeder.

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.
