Netball: Modified game for interception and cover defence

Get your players dashing, darting and driving in their next match with this SPEED interception session

White player 1 initiates a move towards either ball (on cone). Red player 1 responds and tries to get the ball before white 1 . But whoever gets to the ball first throws to their team mate.

Defender must decide whether to

1. go for the ball and defend the throw if unsuccessful or
2. drop back and mark the receiver.

On receiving the ball from the feeder player 1 turns.

Players 2 and 3 should both make strong sideways movements in opposite directions, the defender can go either way.

Player 1 must try and pass to the unmarked player as quickly as possible.

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.

Set up grids 5 m by 5m.

3 player with 1 ball in each grid

Player with the ball passes to the player moving to the empty cone.
