Netball: Fight for the Ball (Moving In)

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...
Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

- The attackers start side by side about 4m away from the feeder, facing the feeder.
- They slowly jog backwards together as a pair.
- When the feeder shouts go they both change to running forwards and the feeder throws a straight chest pass to the middle of them for whoever is in front to grab.

Challenge your players to be the first to 5.

COACHING POINTS

Attackers have to be level for the feeder to shout go.

  • Snatch ball in to protect possession
  • Watch the ball not their feet

  2. The receiver lands on 1 and releases the ball on 2 to the player waiting at the opposite queue.
