Netball: Receive the ball off cone

Don't just stand there! Break the opposition's defence with dynamic runs and a sharp change of direction!

Don't all crowd and run to the ball, like moths to a light bulb! Teach your players to make smart runs to stretch the opposition and create space!

Player 1 (centre ) passes the ball to Player 2 (GA) who has to make a move to cut free.

As player 2 receives the ball player 3 (WA) should also make a cut and run to receive the ball at the top of the circle.

Player 4 (GS) runs in and out to receive the ball under the basket and shoots to score from close.

Every player follows their own pass and becomes that position for the next ball. GS comes back to the centre and joins the back of the queue.

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.

Minimum of 8 players with 2 balls (balls start on diagonally opposite corners).

Players 1 and 3 run to their left towards the player that is going to feed the ball to them.

Before reaching the player who is going to feed them the ball the receiving player should make a sharp dash towards the centre to receive the ball, accelerating as they do so.

Once the ball is received the player passes it to the player diagonally across from where they started and follows their pass and joins the back of the queue.

The drill continues.

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.
