Netball: Catch and turn

Teach your players to catch and pass in one fluid move with this speed of thought session, so they can catch their opponent on the back foot and quicken your team's overall play!

The queueing players must sprint and change direction before receiving the ball from the feeder.

Once they've received the pass the ball is then passed onto the receiver (red 2) who passes back to the feeder.

Players pass the ball out to the side and then follow their pass and run behind the player they passed the ball to.

Both the ball and all players should be moving steadily at all times.

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.

One player, the feeder, starts on the edge of the circle. The other player, the worker (number 1 in the diagram) runs around one of the cones set out on the edge of the shooting circle, then drives back into the circle to receive the ball before making the shot.

Shooter collects the successful shot or rebound, passes back out to the feeder and repeats with an alternative cone.
