OFTEN USED WITH...

Pass chase

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.

Small games

King Ball

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!

10 passes to score

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.)

Run out and touch cone - Conditioned Game

After players have made a pass they must then run to any cone on the outside of the court and touch it before re-joining the game. Depending on the ability of your players, you can condition the game so the defenders must follow them to the cone.

Shooter Shuttles

Set up: Split players into runners and shooters - no more than 4 shooters at one time who start in the shooting circle, each with a ball. The runners line up on the middle transverse line facing the shooters. The Aim: Shooters need to score 50 goals before the runners finish their shuttles. They can shoot from anywhere in the circle and must keep count themselves. The runners must complete 20 lengths of the two thirds before the shooters score their 50 goals. Each time the runners touch an end line that counts as 1 shuttle run. When both groups have finished change the 4 shooters this means some players will be running again which is good for their fitness and all players will run twice. You could allow them to complete 15 shuttles if they are struggling.
