Players work in groups of 3, with two players inside the grid and 1 outside with the ball.
The outside player (1) passes the ball inside to the player on their team (2) and then runs inside the square to receive the pass back.
After this player 2 runs out of the opposite side of the grid to receive a return pass from player 1 before restarting the drill.
Player continue working in this way until the defender intercepts the ball.
At that point the defender swaps with the player that lost the ball.
This practice works on a player's ability to get free to receive the ball and then return it to the original passer.
Progression:
You could add to the practice that the player running out of the grid to receive the ball can run out of any side to receive and then starts the practice again from that side.

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.
