This drill will help your players pass around a defender's 3ft mark by encouraging them to use different release points and angles.
Two feeders stand at opposite sides of a third with 2 workers in the middle who will change between being attack and defence. One feeder passes to the worker closest to them who becomes an attacker. The other worker becomes a defender and immediately puts their arms up to stop the pass from the attacker to the feeder at the other side.
Once the attacker has passed to the feeder the drill reverses and the workers in the middle swap attack/defence. The players work on an imaginary straight line, so they can't move out to get the pass around the defender.
2 sets of 12 passes for each attacker
Attackers should use a range of release points (left, right, and overhead), to pass around the defender.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
