Netball: Work the Middle Player

Jump, pivot and pass in one fluid movement to give your players more time on the ball and help them pick out their best passing option!

Players stand in a line 3 metres away from a wall with one ball per line.

Player 1 throws a powerful high pass against the wall, after throwing the ball they move aside and jog to the back of the line, all the time facing forwards.

The next player in line catches the ball and the drill continues.

position lines of players (or a team) down the court in a straight line, preferably in position order.

The GK faces the back wall away from the court, throws the ball up in the air, rotates, receives and releases the ball to the next player.

The next player up the line drives into space, with a sharp change of direction and also receives, rotates and then releases the ball to the next player up the line.

Position two lines of opposing players along the court in a straight line.

The GK faces the back wall, away from the court, throws the ball up in the air, rotates and releases to the next player. The next player must drive into space to receive the pass.

Place any number of static defenders dotted around the court (6/8/9 players) while performing the above drill.

Once the ball has reached the end of the court you can change the roles around and the static defenders now become the passing team and vice versa.
