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.

The Wing Attack is the critical link between midcourt possession and circle feeding. This masterclass breaks down the movement patterns, timing, and spatial awareness that separate elite WAs from the rest, with practical drills to develop these skills at every level.
Footwork is the foundation of every skill in netball. This guide provides a clear explanation of the stepping rule, the mechanics of one-foot and two-foot landings, pivoting technique, and progressive drills to build footwork confidence from junior level upward.
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
