Netball: Communication in pairs

4 posts, 2 lines of players (workers), 1 ball, 1/3 space.

Ball to start with one of the workers who passes the ball to either the post on the left or right.

Player follows the pass and always drives back to the middle.

Worker number 2 drives to recieve pass from the first post in the middle and passes off to any post, and follows pass.

Post passes back to the other worker who will recieve the ball in the middle.

This is repeated until all posts have been passed to.

In partners: one player does quick feet in a slight squat position, looking at the ball with their hands by the sides of their heads.

The other player stands 2-3ft in front of them holding the ball in front just below the other player's head level (or lower if this is too easy).

The player with the ball lets go of it so that it falls towards the floor, and the other player reacts to catch it before it hits the floor.

Unlimited number of players, 1 ball between 2.

The coach calls a variety of movements players are to complete until the next movement. 

Examples: short long, little feet passes, burpee and pass, pass and run around, pass and shuttle run

Have the players get into pairs.

One player starts with the ball and drops, places or throws the ball in random places around a semi circular area.

The other player in the pair stands around a metre opposite keeping a close eye on the ball. They need to react as quickly as possible to gather the ball either before it bounces or after only 1 bounce.

After 10, have the players swap over so that the passer is now reacting to the ball.
