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. 

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