Set up GS and GK in the shooting circle.
Two midcourt players start with the ball in the centre third towards the transverse line. One player in the centre of the court (C), one on the side (WA).
Ball starts with the player in the center and is passed square to the other midcourt player who passes straight back.
The WA player on the side then drives as if heading to the pocket, in the same channel. C player passes a long ball to the pocket for the WA.
GK comes out of the circle hunting for that long ball to the WA ensuring the timing is right.
If GK is successful, they then pass back to the C and drive up the court.
Rotate players around positions to get a feel for reading the long ball. Does not have to be just the GK and GD giving it a go at intercepting as there are Fly Intercept opportunities all over the court.
Ensure the intercepting player times the drive.
Ensure the pass from C to the pocket is strong, high and going to actually reach the WA rather than anticipating the GK intercept.
Driving players are to make sure they do not perform footwork once they have intercepted.
Set challenges for players to achieve for example, GK has to make 4 intercepts before rotating out of that position.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
