Netball: Split Drive Onto Ball

Agility progression to circle.

5 cones, half court, 1+ players.

1. Cones are lay out in a diamond formation. Player starts at top of diamone, drives straight to top cone, back towards left cone, and straight drive to circle edge with strong bent knees. 

2. Add in defence. Players run the same ilnes but a defende is added in to 'shadow'. 

3. Bring in ball, remove the defender. Player still running the same lines. Player recieves a pass from the feeder at the circle edge. 

4. Both players run the drill, both splitting seperate ways after first drive. Ball can be delivered at different points. 

Set up: one third space, one ball between two, cones (one between two).

One partner to be standing on the third line with the ball facing the baseline.

Other partner starts on the baseline, drives out to cone (about halfway down the third), turns and drives back to the baseline. Turns again and accelerates to partner who is holding the ball. 

Play should recieve pass before the cone. 

Set up: 7+ players, one ball, full court.

Players set up in loosely positioned areas. 

Ball starts down one end i.e. with the shooter and players work the ball through the full court. 

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

• Shooters to take shots at goal and deliberately miss to cause a rebound situation.
• Initially have the defender standing beside the shooter and jumping in, across the player to box the shooter out and grab the rebound. 
• Once players have a feel for this movement, have them defend the shot with the correct distance, as if in a game situation. The defender then needs to react to the shot being taken, turn quickly and box (block) the player out from the rebound.
