Netball: Down the court with defenders.

Description

Position two lines of opposing players along the court in a straight line.

The GK faces the back wall, away from the court, throws the ball up in the air, rotates and releases to the next player. The next player must drive into space to receive the pass.

Place any number of static defenders dotted around the court (6/8/9 players) while performing the above drill.

Once the ball has reached the end of the court you can change the roles around and the static defenders now become the passing team and vice versa.

Coaching points

Finish this practice by adding the folowing rule:

If the attacking player receives the ball near the static defender then the defender is allowed to actively defend the pass.
