Netball: Whole court attacking challenge

Description

Split group into 3 equal teams. Ideally 6 per team.

• 1 team is the attackers,
• 1 team are defenders,
• 1 team is resting off the court.

Split court in half. Half of the defence and attack are restricted to defending half of court while the rest of the players are restricted to attacking half of the court.

1. 1 A starts with the ball on the baseline.
2. Attackers have 5 minutes to get the ball to the other end of the court and score as many times as they can. If the ball is tipped, intercepted or dropped the ball is taken back to the start.
3. After 5 minutes, defenders become attackers, attackers come off to rest, resting team become defenders.

Coaching points

Attackers have to employ a variety of ways to get free from their defenders. Keep the ball moving by attackers always being an option.

Must keep moving and think about what they are doing when they do not have the ball. Attackers should be making preliminary moves ready to get the ball.
