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.
Quick feet needs to be on the balls of the player's feet.
This is to warm up the players and get them reacting to 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.
