Section off half of one of the thirds for 5 players, each with a ball. Each player bounces the ball whilst walking around the area. At the same time they try to knock other player's balls away.
The last player with a ball wins.
Player's should keep their heads up to try and steal/ tap away others balls.
This encourages players to be aware of other players around them, whilst working on controlling their ball without looking at it. This is important in a game because being able to receive a ball without directly looking at is allows players to prescan the court and be ready for the next phase of the game.
By getting your players to steal the other player's balls you encourage a ball hungry attitude and a competitive nature to go and win the ball.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
