Split your players into teams of 7 or more in different coloured bibs.
In the image the yellow players are the robbers and the blues are the cops.
The cops must defend the diamonds (netballs) and protect them from the robbers who are trying to steal them and take them to their home.
To start the game off coach blows their whistle once to release the Robbers then a second time to release the Cops to chase them.
The robbers must work together to get the balls home by passing them using netball rules.
The cops must intercept the ball or cause 3 second violations. If they successfully do this the diamond (netball) gets put back inside the blue coned area and the player who loses the ball has to go to jail.
Robbers can free their team mates in jail by high-fiving them. When the robbers are home the cops cannot touch them

The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
