Starting on a backline, players move the ball through the court ending up with the shooter who puts a shot up.
Players should aim to pass the ball in the following order: GK, GD, WD, C, WA, GA, GS.
If WD had the ball for example, ideally the C should receive it, but WA also needs to offer in a different space for the ball, as well as the GD providing a back up offer if the C is not available.
There should always be a back-up offer from the player who has just received the ball, as well as a minimum of two offers from down the court.
Players should aim to time their movement so they are reading off each other.
Players have a defender on them.
Attackers have to time their movement in relation to the play ahead of them, and be mindfull of where they are moving to.
If an offering player is not used she needs to clear out into the outside channel, hopefully taking her defender with her and freeing up space for her teammates to move in to.

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.
