Side/backline throw in
Place 6 different coloured cones in different places on the side and back lines to signal start position of the throw in.
Coach calls out a colour and one of the attackers runs to pick up the ball from this cone.
Play until each ball next to the cones has been used (6 times).
1 point if the attackers get the ball to half way
(You can give them the option to get to goal if you want, which would be worth 2 points, but having a full court of players could leave the players at the other end being less active).
You can also give the defenders a point for successful intercepting
Start off with 1 defender who can choose to mark either player.
Then add in a second defender to make it more difficult for the attackers.

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.
The backline pass is the most under-coached restart in netball. Get it right and you turn a dead ball into an attacking weapon before the opposition has reset.
July is the month that decides your season. Netball is not a steady jog - it is a string of short, sharp, repeated sprints with barely any recovery. Here is how to build a pre-season engine that still has legs in the final quarter.
