Split players into 4s inside a coned area. The attackers (white) start with the ball on the outside of the playing area.
To begin with White 2 feints a movement one way and then sprints in opposite the direction (to begin with use a passive defender).
After white 1 has passed the ball, she then has to do a feint dodge and run in opposite direction to receive the ball.
Try to get 3 / 5 passes in a row before possession changes.
Players need to communicate with one another to beat the defenders.
Encourage players to use the whole space.
Try to get players to 'give and go' - once they pass the ball move to receive the pass (reactions).

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.
