Get them moving, on and off the ball!

Dear Netball Coach,

This week's session aims to develop your players' running, passing and talking - getting them to time their runs to meet the pass, call when they're ready to receive the ball and move, on and off the ball! Read on to learn more!

Netball's come a long way from its English origins, back in the 1890s when it was played on grass lawns in London and called 'Net ball'.

Gone are the days of long dresses and restricted movement, nowadays netball's a fast-paced and physically demanding sport! There's no time for standing around which is why this week's session aims to get all your players moving, looking to support the player on the ball and make lots of intelligent runs!

To help your players practice timing their runs and work on being more vocal on the court we start this session with a couple of unopposed pass and move drills. Once practised these skills will be applied in a game situation, with players attempting to support their pass, as before, only this time under pressure!

Don't let your team play slow and restricted netball! Move to find space and support the pass, don't let your netball be stuck in the past!

Reader's Drill of the Week   Move to the D and Shoot DESCRIPTION Here's a play (without defenders) for players to practice a fast pass and move pattern of attacking play. The Center starts with the ball and passes the GS. They then run to the opposite side of the edge of the D - ready to receive the pass from the WA. The center then catches the ball and feeds the GS inside the D who finishes the move with a shot on goal. This drill was built using the Sportplan Animator and submitted by one of our readers, view the drill of the week now   Drill of the Week   Run and Pass DESCRIPTION Teams of 3 or 4 players. Each team numbers themselves 1-2-3-4 and has one ball. The ball should be passed around the team in numerical order whilst moving around the set area. After each pass the player has to run around one of the cones on the corner. Restriction: The player receiving the pass is not allowed to run round the same cone as the passer and the same player is not allowed to run around the same cone consecutively. This drill is taken from this weeks session of the week. view the drill of the week now
