Netball: Quickest way up the court

Work on your team's straight line ball and centre pass set plays with this session!

2 Balls starting with Player 1 and Player 4. The players then pass the balls diagnoally until the ball reaches an end. They then pass the ball straight to the person opposite them and continue the practice.

position lines of players (or a team) down the court in a straight line, preferably in position order.

The GK faces the back wall away from the court, throws the ball up in the air, rotates, receives and releases the ball to the next player.

The next player up the line drives into space, with a sharp change of direction and also receives, rotates and then releases the ball to the next player up the line.

• The red players around the outside square have a ball each and move anti-clockwise around the box.
• Red players must make a pass inside to the blue players when they are on a corner and receive the return pass when they reach the half way point down the line.
• They then play another one-two pass receiving the return pass on the corner of the square.

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.
