Netball: Pass and follow

Get your players whizzing the ball around the court - thinking about where the next pass will be going before they even have the ball.

4 players stand in the middle of the square catching and pivoting.

Every time the middle players receives a pass they pivot anti-clockwise and pass the ball to the next player.

Players on the outside receive the ball and pass the ball to the next inside player.

The red players in the middle are static and receive and wall pass the ball back to the same player each time.

Players on the outside receive the ball from the blue player to their left and pivot pass the ball to the red player in the middle.

They then move to receive the wall pass back from the player in the centre on the other cone.

Once they have received the ball back again the players passes it to the next blue player on the outside, after which they return to their starting cone.

• 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.

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.
