Netball: ICE CREAM

Are your players fit and ready? Find out with this Fitness and Agility session, working on acceleration and a speedy change of direction!

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.

2 Feeders and 1 worker.

1. The worker receives the ball from one of the feeders and passes it diagonally to the other feeder.
   
   
2. Worker then moves across to receive the ball back from the second feeder.
   
   
3. Repeat.

It's very important that the worker lands on the outside foot every time she catches the ball to be able to step with the other foot towards her next intended pass.

Split your players into 4s or more with 2 balls. Both blue players start with a ball.

1. The blue players both throw the ball to the Red players who in turn return the ball.
   
   
2. After returning the ball the red players swap places.
   
   
3. Repeat once more.

Time the cross-over moves so that players receive on the move.

Place 3 hula hoops, chalked circles or use intersecting lines on the ground.

1. The player runs to land in the first hoop on 2 feet
2. They then run to land in the second hoop landing on their right foot first, then place their left foot on the ground.
3. The player then runs to the 3rd hoop and lands on their left foot first followed by the right foot.
