Jo, Netball Coach

  1. The winger players passes the ball into the centre and then runs to the first blue cone

  2. The winger then cuts inside and receives the ball back at the top of the D

  3. As the winger receives the return pass the player in the D cuts outside and in to receive the ball, before taking a shot.

COACHING POINTS

After taking the shot the player in the circle should retrieve their ball and join the back of the queue.

The winger player becomes the next player inside the circle and the drill continues.

2. Cut back:

WA runs one way, stops quickly - changes direction and runs into space to meet the pass.

3. Double bluff:

WA runs and stops, making it look as though they are going to cut back before continuing their run in the direction they were already running to meet the pass.

Attacking Centre Pass | Footwork

Attacking Centre Pass:

GA and WA start on the line squeezing their defenders into the middle.

This opens up space to run into

Has to be two options therefore both players have to sprint off the line on the whistle.

Suggestion for player order could be 

WA – C— GA – GS
