Where can they go?
Centres are allowed to move in all 3 thirds except in both circles.
What do they do?
They restart the game each time after a goal.
They mark the opposition's Centre.
They need to be very agile and fit and they help in both attack and defence.
Centre's need to ensure they get the centre pass off quickly and accurately. Drive down the court on attack and pass into the circle accurately.
When on defence, hunt for intercepts, especially in the midcourt.

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.
