*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*
Set up: Full court, 6+ players, 10 cones.
Players start in two groups on the baseline.
Cones are set up in a ‘Christmas Tree’/zig zag like formation down the length of the court.
One at a time, each player runs straight to the first cone. Side steps to the second cone. Runs a diagonal to the third cone. Sidesteps to the fourth cone and finishes with a diagonal to the last cone.
Players then join the group on the other side and do the same movements going back down the court.
Players are running continuously and leave the baseline with the player in front has reached the first cone.
As players warm up, encourge them to increase speed.
You could change movements between cones, for example, high knees, grapevine, heel flicks, lunges.

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.
