Netball: Hoop ball

Develop your players feeding in order to feed the ball accurately into the circle, whilst also improving their confidence.

The perfect passing formula - Get your players timing their passes so that their team-mates can receive the ball in space on the move!

• 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.

Working in a square in groups of 3 (with one corner left empty).

Player 2 sprints to the spare corner as player 1 starts to play the pass.

Upon receiving the ball blue 2 turns to throw the ball to the now empty corner which blue 3 sprints towards, ready to receive the pass.

Players take it in turns to run through the defender's areas as pairs. The player without the ball leads into the space. Working together they should try to pass and move, maintaining possession of the ball, from one side to the other.

If players successfully pass and support each other to the other side without losing the ball they pass the ball to the next pair and then join the back of the queue.

If the ball is intercepted though the pair who lost the ball become the defenders and the original defenders take the runner's place at the back of the queue.

Players work in pairs with 1 ball.

The feeder stands static and feeds the ball to the worker.

The worker runs towards the feeder to receive the ball and then passes it straight back.

They then run away from the feeder before turning and running back for the next pass.
