Netball: Virtual Snake-bite

Teach your players how to use this venomous and incisive interception technique!

In this game you have two attackers who are passing the ball between them with one defender who stands behind the attacker. The defender is the worker in this drill.

The defending player should be constantly working, rotating around the GS using the snake-bite action.

To start with the purpose of this movement is purely to distract the GS, with the defending players moving in front of the receiving player even when the ball is at the other end of the court.

Players work in pairs with one ball and three cones, placed in a triangle.

The feeder stands above the top of the triangle.

Using quick, small steps the worker has to rotate around the cones in a figure of 8 before then receiving the ball and returning it to the feeder at the top of the triangle.

Players stand in pairs, with the worker standing behind the ball holding player.

Depending on where the ball holding player holds the ball the worker should respond to the position of the ball using fast feet.

If the ball is held high above the player's head, the worker needs to come in front of the other player. If the ball is held low the worker needs to rotates to the back of the other player, ball held to left/right worker responds to position of ball and snakebites to the left/right.
