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.

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.
