Netball: Using the Overload

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

DESCRIPTION

Cone out a square, 5m x 5m, with 3 attacker's and 1 defender inside.

One of the attackers starts with a ball.

The attacker's aim is to get the ball to all 4 corners in any order without being tagged with the ball by the defender. They start again if they are tagged.

They can only move the ball by passing, they can't run with it.

You can swap the defender out if they make it to all 4 corners or wait until they have managed it a few times to progress.

COACHING POINTS

In a 3 vs 1 scenario you should always have an attacker free, if not it is poor decision making.

One attacker can draw the defender out of position, leaving another free to get to a corner.

This warm up targets space, awareness and decision making.

Group practices

Catching on the Move:

Set up 4 cones in a square, 3m apart

3 players start on different corners (leaving the top right corner free).

The player at the bottom right runs to the free corner to receive the ball from the Player at the top left.

The player at the bottom left runs to the now free corner to receive the ball.

In this way players move around the square anticlockwise.

Once they have made it back to their starting position, reverse the direction.

Ball skills

Passing and reactions: Drive and receive:

In pairs standing two meters apart.

The receiver stands with their back to the feeder on the balls of their feet, ready to quickly turn.

The receiver makes a sharp 180 degree turn and drives to either the left or right hand cone. The feeding player must fire a fast ball to the receiver who returns it before then turning away again.
