2 groups of 4 with one ball in each group standing in two interlocking squares.

The idea of the practice is that the ball starts on opposite sides and both teams pass the ball in the same direction around their square.

The teams are competing to pass the ball around their team the quickest and overtake the ball from the other group.

Each team has a King (player) standing on their bench.

The aim of the game is to get all your team's players (Kings) onto their bench.

To become a King, the players on the same team must successfully pass the ball between themselves to their existing Kings, abiding by the rules of netball, and the king must catch the ball without falling off the bench!

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

3 Feeders, 3 defenders, 1 attacker, 1 ball.  Attacker has to work her way through the defenders passing and receiving the ball from the feeders 6 times.  

Defenders to mark in zones so as not to overload he attacker  

Attackers should be demonstrating a variety of ways of getting free from the defenders i.e. roll, change of direction, dodge, feint dodge.

Add another attacker so that both players have to work together.
