Players work in pairs and number themselves 1 and 2 inside a 5 by 5 metres grid.
The coach tells player number 2 to try and get away from player 1 so that when the coach says "Stop" player 1 is unable to touch player 2.
Reverse the roles, with player 1 trying to get away from player 2 for when the coach calls "Stop".
If the chasing player can touch the player who is trying to get free they score 2 points.
If the players getting free is successful they score 1.

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.
