Netball: One arm catch and return

2 players 2 balls 1 ball should only be bounce passed and the other ball should be chest passed through the air.

Move the ball around the body . Both ways.

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.

*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. 

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. 

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.

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON* Set Up: half court area, 12+ players, 8 balls. 4 stations each with 1 worker and 2 feeders with a ball each. A wall is required at station 4.  Station 1: 2 feeders, each passing short sharp balls to a worker who is running side to side receiving and passing the ball. x8 reps and then worker to move to next station.    Station 2: 2 feeders, feeder 1 delivering a loose, short pass, worker to receive and pass back, then drive back for a long pass from feeder 2. x8 reps and then worker to move to next station.    Station 3:  2 feeders, Short pass from feeder 1, short pass from feeder 2, medium pass from feeder 1 and then a long pass from feeder 2. x8 reps and then worker to move to next station.    Station 4:  2 feeders, two short flat passes alternating between feeders, one long pass from feeder 1, worker turns and passes to the wall, catches and returns the ball to feeder 1. x8 reps and then worker to move to next station. When workers have been to each station, swap with a feeder and repeat.   

Work the ball from hand to hand, around: a)Waist b)Knees c)Ankles (Both knees/ankles together).

Hold the ball between the legs with left hand in front and right hand behind. Let go of the ball twist and hold the ball with hands the other way around..

Set up 4 cones in a square, 3m apart 3 players start on different corners (leaving the top right corner free). The player at the bottom right runs to the free corner to receive the ball from the Player at the top left. The player at the bottom left runs to the now free corner to receive the ball. In this way players move around the square anticlockwise. Once they have made it back to their starting position, reverse the direction.

Pass the ball quickly from one hand to the other, at about shoulder height. Try both static and moving. Vary level at which you pass the ball - from ankle height to full stretch above your head.

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.

Unlimited number of players, 1 ball between 2. The coach calls a variety of movements players are to complete until the next movement.  Examples: short long, little feet passes, burpee and pass, pass and run around, pass and shuttle run

*AUDIO DISCRIPTION ON* Set up: 1 ball, one third space, 1 feeder in between 2 lines of partners. Two players to drive out straight from baseline to top of the circle (approx.) they turn and drive out on a V to the side channels where the feeder passes ball to one of the drivers.  The driving player who did not receive the ball is to cut back to the top of the circle (middle channel) and receive pass from their partner.  The partner now without the ball cuts back into the middle channel to receive a straight pass from their partner. Ball is returned to stationary feeding player.   

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

Figure of 8 through the legs, try to keep only one hand on the ball as much as possible.

keep your feet on the ground and move the ball around your legs in a figure of 8.

Players have 1 ball each. They start in a space away from one another on the netball court. Player holds the ball out in front of her with elbows slightly bent. Using her finger tips, player pushes the ball from one hand to the other as quickly as she can. After 30 seconds ask the players to jog round the netball court while still moving the ball between their hands, being careful not to bump into anyone else. After a minute of jogging, players are asked to complete 5 squats, still keeping the ball moving. After completing the squats, player makes eye contact with another player then swaps balls by using a pass of their choice.

Players have 1 ball each. They start in a space away from one another on the netball court. Player stands still while patting the ball backwards and forwards in her hands (as before) but this time she moves the ball up and down her body- she will have to bend down and reach up high, still keeping the ball moving. Do this on the spot for 30 seconds, then get the players jogging again, still keeping the ball moving. After 1 minute of jogging players to complete 5 lunges on each leg, still keeping the ball moving between their hands and up and down. Once completed, swap balls with another player like before.
