Equipment: Dependant on numbers, one ball between 2, full court area.
Players are in 2 lines down the length of the court.
One line of players has the ball. The other line stands inbetween these players facing them (i.e. not directly opposite).
Coach wil call either number; one, two or three. Followed by either left or right.
The number determines the movement. Left or right determines the way the workers drive.
If workers drive left they should lead with their left hand to the ball and if they drive right, the right hand should touch the ball.
One: Workers drive to either left or right. Tap ball. Drive back on an angle to recieve a long pass.
Two: Workers drive and tap either left or right hand. Drive back the same angle with a side switch half way back.
Three: Same as two but once workers reach their start point they drive forward and recieve a flat pass from the post.
You may like to walk through this first.
Players need to move at the same time for the calls to work.
Ensure workers stay 'open' when driving back, they should turn their back and should always have eyes towards the ball.
This is tiring so keep rotations moving.

July is the month that decides your season. Netball is not a steady jog - it is a string of short, sharp, repeated sprints with barely any recovery. Here is how to build a pre-season engine that still has legs in the final quarter.
The double play - pass, drive, receive it straight back - is the quickest way to slice through a settled defence. Elite coaches like West Coast Fever's Dan Ryan have made it a signature. Here is how to build the give-and-go into your team's attack.
Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
