Netball: Getting Around Your Player

The session focuses on enhancing your players attacking skills, introducing and developing the 'reverse pivot' to lose and outwit your opponents.

Revisit key skills in a fun, engaging way, whilst ensuring your players are following social distancing rules and remaining safe.

• Place down a chair
• Position yourself in front of the chair with a ball
• Throw the ball into the air
• Using a narrow foot base and fast feet, move around the chair
• Catch the ball back in your original position before its second bounce

• 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
