Netball: Pass and Touch

Set up: Shooting circle, 4-7 players, 1 ball, cones.

• Divide three channels across the court (you can refer to these as channel 1, 2 or 3 or first, second, economy class).
• Use cones to determine channels for players that are learning the areas.
• One channel in front of center transverse line (center pass area).
• Another channel between transverse line and top of circle.
• Final channel is from top of the circle to baseline (shooting area).
• Center feeder to pass ball to first attacker who will drive from WA position to middle of the first channel.
• Attacker to turn and pass to second receiver who will drive circle edge and pass the ball into the shooter.
• Shooter to shoot.

Set up: Goal third, 1 ball, 1 passer, 2 midcourt, 1 shooter, 2-3 defence.

• Ball starts with passer behind transverse line.
• Both midcourt players drive from the transverse line to circle edge then back off again (creating the ‘M’).
• Passer delivers ball to one of the midcourt players off the circle who then delivers the second ball to the other midcourt plyer on the circle edge. Option: Passer candeliver directly to shooter who may choose to come out of the circle. Shooter then is to deliver a pass to a midcourter and get into position.
• Ball delivered to shooter, who puts the shot up.

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set up: Half court, 3 stationary feeders, 3 balls, 1 attacker, 1-3 defence.

• Feeders are placed in an extended triangle formation. Each feeder has a ball.
• Attacker drives out from transverse line to first feeder where a pass is received, attacker returns pass and moves around the feeder.
• Attacker does so with the other two feeders in the extended triangle formation creating a 'zig zag'.
• Attacker works her way through the 'zig zag' in both directions without errors.

Set up:

• No set amount of people needed.
• Working in partners. 
• 2 groups opposite each other.

• Two players drive out on and angle.
• One player receives a pass from the same line they have left.
• Receiver to pass back to partner who has driven out also.
• First receiver drives long and diagonal across court to receive a long pass from their partner then delivers it back to the line.

*Introduce trigger once players have mastered the above movement.

• Trigger – called by a nominated player to change the space.
• Same drill as above but to the opposite side of the court.
• When 'trigger' is called players aim to adapt to the other side of the court as quickly as possible.
• 'Trigger' player to initiate play and be passing/receiver option.
