Netball: Pocket drop defence

Description

Set up: 1 ball, half court space, 4 players.

Players set up as if hte ball is to be taken from the midcourt into the shooting circle. 

Aim is for GK/GD to time an intercept that will be delivered into the pocket. 

Coaching points

Coach the defensive player to work on an angle and a 'step, step up' approach to the intercept. 

Keep strong footwork on landing. 

Progression - instead of just a simple drive back from the shooter they could choose to change direction.
