3-6 players, 1-2 balls, 1/3 space.
1 feeder with a ball stands at the top of the triangle.
2 other players (workers) make the base of the triangle.
Working players drive in the shape of a bow. They will cross paths and need to communicate.
The feeder will deliver random balls so workers need to be ready to recieve a pass at any point.
Progression 1: Bring in a defender.
Progression 2: Two sets of workers set up opposite eachother across a whole 1/3 space. There are 2 feeders. The drill plays out as above but when the coach calls 'swap' one worker from each side swaps sides and continues the drill.
Players need to communicate as they are working closely in eachothers space.
Encourage workers to face the ball and be prepared to receive a pass at any time.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
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.
