Jogging around the court for 10 minutes, depending on facilities available possibly with some music playing.
After 5 minutes of gentle jogging introduce some rules (see notes).
A fun variation for the rules is to nominate different players within your team to give the instructions. They'll still have to follow them but it changes from having the coach always lead the warm-up.
Rules:
1. On the coach's call of "1" players should change direction.
2. On the call of "2" players should perform three power jumps.
3. On the call of "3" players should perform 6 alternating side steps (one facing forward, one facing back...)
4. On the call of "4" players should run with high knees for the next six steps.
5. On the call of "5" players should do heel flicks for the next six steps.

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.
