Netball: Triangle 2 vs 2

A good pass isn?t just made by the passer, the receivers movement must be spot on to create it. Develop your players explosive leads to get free from their marker and receive the pass.

Set up a triangle of attackers (3m apart) with a defender in the middle of them.

The person at the top of the triangle starts with the ball, passes to one of the other attackers and runs into the triangle to receive the ball back. They then pass again to either attacker and cross the bottom line of the triangle to be outside of the triangle. They receive the ball back again and the first attacker they passed to runs to take their space at the top of the triangle. The attacker behind the line passes the ball to the new top attacker, takes the free space and the drill repeats.

Set up two squares side by side about 4 x 4m each.

Have a Feeder positioned at the top of each square, with an Attacker and a Defender in one of the squares.

The Feeder next to the box of the Attacker passes the ball to the Attacker, and the Defender tries to intercept. If the Attacker receives the ball they pass to the other Feeder and then run into the other box to receive the ball back. In this way they swing from side to side, trying to get free for every pass.

1. 6-8 reps and then swap over
2. Feeders can swing the ball (pass between each other)

The Attacker can pass back to either Feeder

Set up a 3m x 3m area, with an Attacker  and a Defender inside. A Feeder stands outside the area and starts with the ball. A second Defender is positioned in between the Feeder and the area.

You can set this up in the context of the court with the Feeder starting on the Centre circle and the box being in a shooting third.

The feeder tosses the ball up to themselves to start the drill and turns to face the attacker.

The attacker's aim is to come over the front line to recieve the ball, getting free from the defender. 

Set up 4 cones/throw down lines making a line with markers at the far left, 4m, 2m, 4m.

Partners work facing opposite each other, 1 attacker and 1 defender, starting in the 2m zone in the middle. The attacker has to lose the defender within the 2m zone, by dodging and feigning, and then run to either of the outer markers 4m away at the left or right.

The defender's job is to tag the attacker before they make it to an outside marker.
