Netball: Intercept and Recover

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

DESCRIPTION

A feeder and attacker start on a third line, about 5m apart. A defender starts off to the side and behind the attacker.

The feeder does a chest pass to the attacker which the defender will attempt to intercept. The feeder runs into the Centre third and the defender (or attacker if the defender missed the intercept) passes to the feeder.

The attacker then runs to the edge of the circle to receive a ball from the feeder. The defender tracks the attacker back and again goes for the intercept.

COACHING POINTS

Sighting attacker: Defender needs to make sure they can see attacker

Intercept and Recover for WD/GD:

Feeder on the centre circle, 2 attackers on the third line (~5m apart) with the defender stood behind in between them.

The feeder can pass to either attacker and the defender will go for the intercept. Whoever gets the ball then passes to the feeder and the attacker that the ball was thrown to runs back towards the edge of the circle with the defender.

The Feeder then passes to the Attacker again and the Defender tries to intercept.

Interception

Intercept and Recover for a GK:

Around the circle to make intercepts relevant for a GK.

Feeder 3-4m from the top of the circle, other 2 feeders in line with the top of the circle but out to the side.

Both attackers and the defender start in the circle.

Feeder passes to one attacker, defender intercepts. Ball back to feeder who can pass out to the side or to the same attacker.

If ball goes out to the side they pass in to the attacker. Defender goes for the intercept of any pass to the attacker.

Interception

Intercept the Compass:

Set up 4 feeders in Compass positions (North, South, East, West), with 2 defenders standing behind the W feeder and to the side. The E feeder begins the drills by passing to either the N or S feeder. Whichever N or S feeder has the ball then passes to the W feeder and the Defenders can go for the intercept. If the defenders go too early then the N/S feeder with the ball has the option to pass opposite instead and the other N/S feeder will play the ball to the W feeder. The W feeder only ever plays the ball to the E feeder. The W feeder also has a ball at the start and after the E feeder has released their ball then the W feeder passes their ball to the E feeder so that there are 2 balls in play.

Warm ups

All intercepts for WD/GD:

Feeder on the centre circle, 2 attackers on the third line (~5m apart) with the defender stood behind in between them.

2 feeders positioned on the transverse line at each side.

Feeder can pass to either attacker and the defender will go for the intercept. Whoever gets the ball then passes to the feeder and the attacker that the ball was thrown to runs back towards the edge of the circle with the defender.

The feeder has the option of passing directly to the attacker or passing to the feeder on the same side as the attacker, who can then pass to the attacker.

Defender will go for the intercept of whichever pass is made to the attacker.
