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.

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.
