Netball: Intercepting the Pass

Stand back and watch your team intercept the ball more, with this session!

Apply pressure on the opposition and limit space to force errors, with this session!

Turn up the pressure and win back the ball even quicker - as we recap body position, the 3 foot rule and making yourself look big!

Two players chest pass the ball to each other. Defender (Green1) starts at the side of the receiver and attempts to intercept the pass in front of blue 2. As she becomes successful, the defender moves round the receiver until , eventually she is starting from directly behind her. She must not move until the ball is released.

Split the group into minimum of 3 people with one ball per group.

Player 2 runs to the side to receive ball from player 1.

They then turn and feed the ball to player 3 (the next player waiting in line).

Player 3 feeds the ball back to player 1 as player 2 moves quickly through to try and intercept the pass.

Facing each other one player:

1. Drives forward 5 steps,
2. Back 5 steps and jump to catch the ball
3. Drives out to the side at 45 degree angle receiving the ball in the air (left and right)

5 times each side – swap worker.

Two feeders stand in middle of the court, either side of the center circle.

The attacking player passes the ball out to the feeder and then runs out, looking for the return pass. The defender must react and look to push the attacker wide and/or intercept the ball.
