Netball: Overhead Pass and hold

Description

Split your players into groups of three, with one ball per group.

Player 2's job is to hold their space (screening) behind the defender (player X), leading slightly with one shoulder.

When the feeder lifts the ball over player X player 2 must move to receive the pass and then hold/ protect the ball.

Coaching points

Player 2 must hold their move until the ball is over head.

Player 2 should stand sideways on as it is much harder to run backwards than it is to turn from a sideways stance and run forward.
