Netball: Burpee Variation

Get into pairs with one ball  One player will be the worker (doing the movement), the other the feeder (passing the ball) The worker will start in a sit up position and the feeder will pass the ball to them  The worker will then complete a sit-up and pass the ball back to the feeder The feeder will then pass the ball back to the worker who will put the ball in front of them and complete a burpee  The worker will pass the ball back to the feeder and get back into the sit up position 

Get into 3's with two balls  One player (the worker) will get into a plank position  The other two players will be the feeders, they will stand either side of the worker - approximately 1-2 meters away  The worker will begin by holding a normal front plank position However, they will then move their body weight onto one arm and receive the ball from the feeder 

Get into pairs with one ball One player (the worker) will get into a side plank position  The other player will be the feeder  Whilst the worker holds the side plank position the feeder will pass the ball to the workers free hand 

Place 2 cones on the ground, diagonal from each other - approximately 1 meter apart  Place a 3rd cone with a ball on in front of these cones - approximately 2-3 meters away Your players will use a small foot base to move around the cones, ensuring they do not contact the cones  When someone says 'Go' or after a certain time the worker will drive hard towards the cone with the ball, pick up the ball and hit a certain target - this may be a brick on the wall for example

Set up 3 cones in the shape of a triangle  Place a 4th cone with a ball on in front of the triangle  The worker will complete a footwork pattern - of their choice or given by the coach  They will then drive hard towards the cone with the ball, pick up the ball and hit a certain target - this may be a brick on the wall for example

Get a ball and find a space on a wall  Using one hand bounce the ball repeatedly against the wall  Whilst doing this, slowly go down, firstly on to one knee, and then on to both Once on both knees, begin to stand up whilst maintaining your ball control 

Get into pairs with one ball - one player will be the worker and the other the feeder Create the shape of a triangle - you may use 3 cones if you feel more comfortable  The worker will simply use fast footwork to move around the triangle  Once the feeder says 'GO' the worker will turn and drive onto the dropped ball  The worker will retrieve the ball and try to hit a target - this may be set up on a wall for example

Set up: Full court space, 4 x mini hurdles, 8x short ladders, 10x cones. Players are divided into 2 groups.   Players start at baseline. Two players, from the front of each line begin by jumping over the mini hurdles (set up at right angles to each other). They then run to ladders set up in a cross formation.  Action 1: Forward steps into each square. Action 3: Left turn: Forward steps into each square and backwards to return to the middle.  Action 3: Right turn. Steps in and out of squares both directions to the middle.
