Split players into pairs with one ball between them.
The worker (player 2) drives from the centre to a cone and then back to the centre again to receive the ball from the feeder (player 1).
The worker then passes back to the feeder and repeats. Each worker repeats this 10 times before changing over.
Players should make a sharp turn upon reaching the cone and should push off using their outside foot.
Shoulders and face should be turned to the feeder at all time. Feet and Hips will be turned in direction of movement.
2 pairs can work in each third of the court. If lacking space have groups of 3.
This practice is useful to get players to understand the importance of the angle of their drive in order to beat/lose their defender.

Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
The backline pass is the most under-coached restart in netball. Get it right and you turn a dead ball into an attacking weapon before the opposition has reset.
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.
