Netball: Intercepting - 4s

Develop your players understanding and use of fast, accurate footwork to make successful interceptions or force an error.

Half the group have a ball each, the other half has to stand tactically in between the two lines.

The players with the balls start behind the line and have to try and get across to the other line by using the static players (middle players can pivot on the spot).

1 or 2 catchers have to try and intercept the balls.

Players caught out must either sit out or help catch out the remaining players.

See how many of the attacking team can get successfully across to the other side!

Players work with one ball in pairs inside a square area. The player without a ball (Red 1) sprints across the box to receive the ball on the other side.

Player 1 then turns as they receive the pass. Red 2 then runs across to receive ball on the other side etc.

Make sure players are balanced and are in control before they make the next pass.

The worker must not move across the square until the feeder is ready to release the ball.

White player 1 throws to Red player 1 and then follows in to mark and catch the rebound from the Red player's shot.

The White player returns the ball to the next player in their line and joins the back of the Red player's line.

The Red player in turn joins the back of the White player's line.

The Player in the middle has to, on reciept of the ball, pass the ball onto a player that does not have a ball. This can not be to the player that just passed them the ball.
