Netball: Over-Under Passing

Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...
Julie

DESCRIPTION

Players need to pair up and concentrate for this drill and will need two balls.

One player bounce passes every pass while the other plays a chest pass.

COACHING POINTS

You can mix things up a bit here by shouting "change".

Upon hearing the call players swap roles, the player who was originally passing with the chest pass is now bounce passing and vice versa!

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.
