Netball: Ball Tag With Variations

Have the players get into pairs.

One player starts with the ball and drops, places or throws the ball in random places around a semi circular area.

The other player in the pair stands around a metre opposite keeping a close eye on the ball. They need to react as quickly as possible to gather the ball either before it bounces or after only 1 bounce.

After 10, have the players swap over so that the passer is now reacting to the ball.

When the teacher calls out a series of players' numbers they should run onto the court.

The players' whose numbers have just been called then play using normal netball rules until a goal is scored.

Player with the ball passes back to feeder. 

Set up: A wall, one third space, one ball, 4+ cones, 2 players.

1. 4 cones are set up in a zig zag formation down the length of a third space towards a wall.
2. The ball is placed on the furthest away cone. 
3. A defending player stands in the middle of the cones, they are to ‘pick up’ the attacker when they drive out.
4. The attacker, drives out towards the first cone and zig zags towards all cones to move past the defender and get the ball off the cone.
