Netball: Try to intercept

Get your players dashing, darting and driving in their next match with this SPEED interception session

4 Attackers with one ball stand on four corners of the square, they are not allowed to move from their cones.

To start with include 3 defenders. These players must move around the area trying to intercept passes from the attackers by driving into the space between the passer and the receiver.

If a defender attempts to intercept the ball and fails and is out of position as a result one of the other defenders should spot the gap and endeavour to cover the space.

The red player (1) drops or throws the ball 5 times around the court for the blue player (1) to retrieve and feed back to them as quickly as possible.

When the ball has been retrieved 5 times the red player throws the ball to across to the other red player (2) in the centre third. Blue player 2 meanwhile has to try and intercept this pass from red player 1.

Before the pass is made from one third to the other blue 2 has to give the red player (2) two meters space - only once the pass has been made can they move to try and intercept it.

Once the red player 2 has the ball the drill starts again.

Goal Keeper floats to the top of the circle and drives to either side of the area to intercept balls that are fed up to the opposition's Goal Attack/ Wing Attack.

By moving to try and intercept the ball your player will inevitably leave a hole. To ensure this hole isn't exploited by the other team it is important that the Goal Defence drops back to cover the direct throw to the red team's Goal Shooter.

Set up a triangle with two players on each point.

Players have to weave from the back to in front in order to receive the pass from the player to their right (ball travels in a clockwise direction).

Once players have received the pass they then pass the ball to the front of the next point in the triangle for another player to weave and receive.
