Netball: Up and Across Passing

Are your players fighting fit? Test their ability to shoot and pass when they're physically tired!

Players work with one ball in pairs inside a square area. The player without a ball (Red 1) sprints across the box to receive the ball on the other side.

Player 1 then turns as they receive the pass. Red 2 then runs across to receive ball on the other side etc.

Make sure players are balanced and are in control before they make the next pass.

The worker must not move across the square until the feeder is ready to release the ball.

1. The Player with the ball passes to player in space on the left.
2. The player receiving the ball jumps into the air, prior to pass and turns in the air to receive ball, finishing up facing backwards to return ball to player in the same queue.
3. This player then passes diagonally to the right.

Have two groups of players (blues and whites) split themselves into two lines. Each line stands facing the other coloured group.

The first 2 players drive in opposite angles, with player 1 (blue) receiving the first pass from the coach.

Player 2 (white) must then change direction to receive the pass from the other player.

After this the player with the ball passes to one of the two players from the other side and the drill continues.

Player 1 passes to their partner then moves to the next cone to receive the ball back.

This repeats until players reach the end of the area.
