Netball: Working on a 2 vs 1 within the circle

Work on your player's attacking capabilities using a change of pace and direction to lose their opponent and hit the circle edge to successfully feed the circle.

The feeders are positioned adjacent to one another, instead of opposite - with an attacker and defender inside the square.

Within the square, there will be 2 defenders and 1 attacker.

The attacker can offload to either feeder.

However, if the attacker cannot get free within 3 seconds OR the attacker is holding the side of the free feeder - the ball can swing to the free feeder.

The ball can only be swung once, at which point it must be passed to the attacker.

The attacker must still try to get free each time for the first feed.

The practice allows the attacker to work on a 2 on 1 situation.

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.

i 4s 1 ball. 2 feeders with the ball. GS and GK in the circle GS has to get free to receive the ball and if she feels she is in a shooting position she can take the shot or she feeds the ball back to the other feeder.(the one that did not pass the original ball).

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.
