The Cat tries to tag the Mouse.
If the Cat manages to tag the Mouse then they swap roles (she becomes the Mouse and the Mouse becomes the Cat).
The Mouse runs away and joins the end of a group "in the mouse hole" to be safe. When the Mouse joins the end of a line then the person at the other end of the line becomes the new Mouse to be chased by the Cat.
This encourages quick movement and changes of direction from the Mouse.
The Cat works like a Defender tracking a player. They need to be aware of options for the Mouse to join a group, and try and shut these down where possible.

The backline pass is the most under-coached restart in netball. Get it right and you turn a dead ball into an attacking weapon before the opposition has reset.
July is the month that decides your season. Netball is not a steady jog - it is a string of short, sharp, repeated sprints with barely any recovery. Here is how to build a pre-season engine that still has legs in the final quarter.
