Have two lines of players both stood behind a cone on the edge of the first third.
The red player starts with the ball. The blue player sprints to the cone on the baseline and receives the diagonal overhead pass from the red player.
Once they have received the ball the blue player then passes the ball to the next player in their team before sprinting the back of their line.
The drill repeats the other way round (blue passing to red). Drill continues in this way.
Time the move and sprint onto the ball - players should be moving at all times and not standing waiting for the pass.
This should be a continuous drill and is a great one to integrate into your pre-match routines as it gets large groups of players moving.
Progression:
Add a defender in the middle for players to practice passing over.

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.
The double play - pass, drive, receive it straight back - is the quickest way to slice through a settled defence. Elite coaches like West Coast Fever's Dan Ryan have made it a signature. Here is how to build the give-and-go into your team's attack.
Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
