Netball: triangle pass

This session looks at developing your players basic passing and movement skills to ensure your players are performing the basics effectively under pressure especially during a competitive match.

Don?t underestimate doing the basics effectively. Nailing your passing and receiving will be sure to open up defences.

Max 12 players. Triangle set-up. 1 ball 1 player from front of each line drives into the centre of the triangle to pass and receive the ball. The ball must be received by all three players and then sent back to the original person before the next 3 players come i

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.

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.

The GK has a back line pass. The Centre takes up her position just in middle of transverse line giving the impression she is not going to be involved in this immediate passage of play... but SHE IS!

The WD and GD roll away to opposite directions (taking their chasing opponents with them) leaving huge space for the centre to drive into receiving the ball at the top of the circle.

The centre, remembering to use the 3rs (receive, rotate and release) passes to the WD, who passes to the GD. Again the ball has progressed from defence to attack over 2/3rds of the court in 3 "simple" passes.
