It's important that every player has the ability to demonstrate a variety of ways to get free from their defender to receive the ball. This makes them less predictable and more successful against their opponents.
That's why this plan encourages your players to mix up the way they lose their defender to receive the pass. Remember Netball is all about outwitting your opposition!
What's in the Session?
In this training we replicate the game as much as possible - putting your players under pressure to get free to receive the ball (i.e. overload the defence in practices). We also arm them with a toolbox of tricks:
Dodge, Straight Sprint, Roll Off, Change of Direction
