Space is a vital commodity on the netball court. Teach your players how to create space and take advantage of it with driving leads to make connections and dominate their area.
Developing attacking skills to ensure the ball carrier numerous options!
Develop and progress your players attacking play, focusing on giving the ball carrier a number of options up and down the court under pressure and in a competitive environment.
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
