Netball: Circle Edge Set-Up

Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...

Julie

DESCRIPTION

WD will set up ball side on the circle edge
GD will set up away from the WD to give them space and to balance the court - they should try to be ball side also
C will start back just inside the centre third, this will allow the WD and GD space
The GK will pass the ball to the WD (holding ball side)
The GD will then drive to receive the second ball from the WD
C will then make a move to receive the ball from the GD

COACHING POINTS

The GD should make a move for the first ball, in case the WD is not free and to keep their defender busy
Each player should make a definite drive towards the ball
It is important the WD and GD balance the court - that they start in a staggered position

OFTEN USED WITH...

Backline Stack:

WD and GD will start in a stacked position, one behind the other with the WD in front
The C will start just inside the centre third to allow the WD and GD space
Both players will split and go in opposite directions to make an offer for the ball
The WD is likely to receive the ball
The GD will then change direction and drive down court to offer for the next ball from the WD
The C will receive the ball from the GD - they must ensure they time their movement correctly

Set Plays

WD, GD Split:

WD and GD will set up to present an offer, however they will not be receiving the ball
The WD will start ball side and pull wide, taking the GS and WA with them to leave space in the middle
The GD will pull wide the other way and take the GA away to leave space in the middle
The C will time their movement and drive hard down the middle to receive the ball from the GK
By this time the WD and GD will have driven down court to offer for the next pass
The WD will receive the ball from the C
The GD will receive the ball from the WD

Set Plays

Off the Post:

The WA will set up ball side on the side of the circle
The C will set up ball side on the top of the circle
The GA will set up ball side in the circle - this will keep the GD out of play
The GS will fake the ball to the WA, this will transfer the GK's body weight that way and leave room for the GS
The GS will then pass the ball against the post and jump back onto court to receive the ball
The GS will put up the shot

Set Plays

GA Hold:

The WA will set up ball side on the side of the circle
The C will set up ball side on the top of the circle
The GA will set up ball side in the circle - this will keep the GD out of play
The GS will pass the ball to the WA
