Netball: Wide Set-Up

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

Debbie

DESCRIPTION

The WA and GA will set up at opposite sides - in this example above, the WA is set up on the right and GA on the left
The WA and GA will both provide an offer for the ball
The WA will receive the ball from the C
The C will then drive hard to get depth into the goal third and receive the ball from the WA on the circle edge
The GS will hold their space ball side (in front) until the C has received the ball and is ready to pass in - they will then drive onto the ball, driving towards the edge of the circle to leave space for the GA
The GA should be able to receive the ball from the GS under the post

COACHING POINTS

There should always be at least two offers for the ball!
The C must drive at speed down court and ensure they cut in front of the defending C to make sure the pass gets there safely
The C should try to receive the ball on the circle edge - therefore not allowing a 3ft marker to set up and making the pass into the circle easier
