Netball: Diagonal Passes

Have two lines of players both stood behind a cone on the edge of the first third.

The red player starts with the ball. The blue player sprints to the cone on the baseline and receives the diagonal overhead pass from the red player.

Once they have received the ball the blue player then passes the ball to the next player in their team before sprinting the back of their line.

The drill repeats the other way round (blue passing to red). Drill continues in this way.

A min. of 8 players standing in four corners of 1/3 of the court, one player with a ball.

Player 1 passes the ball into the space ahead of player 2 who runs on to receive the ball and passes it into the space ahead of player 3 etc. Players move on to next group after the pass.

Progressions:

Minimum group of 6 - 2 balls.

Players 2 have a ball each and pass to players 1, and then cross over to receive, return; cross over to receive, return; cross over to receive, return.
Players 1 then toss the ball in the air for players 2 to catch and then become feeders to the number 3 who are now working. Numbers 1 join the back of the lines.

• The red players around the outside square have a ball each and move anti-clockwise around the box.
• Red players must make a pass inside to the blue players when they are on a corner and receive the return pass when they reach the half way point down the line.
• They then play another one-two pass receiving the return pass on the corner of the square.
