Equipment: 2 balls, half court space, 6+ players.
4 players stand as posts in a square as set out in video. Approximatly half way down 1/3 and near halfway.
2 other players, the workers, start on the baseline with the balls, one each.
Workers pass ball out to first posts on a diagonal and follow the pass to recieve a short pass from first post.
Workers then pass straight on to the second posts and follow the pass.
Second post players toss a high ball for the workers to catch. Workers stay put and the second post players run down court to recieve a long pass to the point of the first posts.
First posts move down and will become the workers in the next round.
You may like to start with a smaller area or walk it through until players understand the movements.
There does need to be communication between all players, especially on crossovers.
Progresson 1: Workers add in a second cross over after the first posts. The same format then follows.
Progression 2: Workers keep the 2 crossovers when working up the court. This progression adds in a crossover on the return, for the second posts, to then become first posts.
A great team drill when it gets going.

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.
