Netball: Moving Spider

Develop your young players' ability to work as a team - denying space and pressuring their opponent to win back possession!

The 2 defenders inside the circle must ensure one of them is always marking the attacker inside the circle.

While one player marks the defender, the other should be covering the space and looking to make the interception.

The two defenders are covering the space inside the circle - and a bit like piggy in the middle they are trying to win back the ball.

As one defender moves towards the player with the ball and tries to prevent one pass, the other defender attempts to cover the space for the other pass.

To be played in groups of 8.

2 defenders stand in each section of the court.

2 attackers work their way down the court passing the ball between them. They must make a given number of passes in each third before progressing to the next third.

Defenders must stay within their own third.

Progression
You could put 3 defenders in each third.

Two players stand two meters apart.

The receiver turns their back on the feeder and awaits their instructions. When the feeder gives the command, shouting left, right, above (their head) or center (into the player's body) the receiver must quickly turn around and be prepared to receive the ball, where necessary taking two to three small but fast steps to the side in preparation for receiving the pass.
