Passing is a fundamental skill within netball and cannot be overlooked. The speed and accuracy of each individual pass can control the game, allowing play to speed up or slow down, whilst ensuring you maintain possession.
What?s in the Session?
The session begins with a fun warm up to get your players concentrating on their passing and movement. This theme is continued throughout the session with a series of drills looking at the accuracy of your players passing and movement before and after receiving the ball. ?Passing circuit? is a great drill to get your players concentrating on who to pass to and which pass will be the most successful, for example a chest or shoulder pass? The session concludes with a modified game of netball, with certain conditions placed upon the game to get your players demonstrating what they have learnt.
Never underestimate the importance of accurate, effective passing - it can be the difference between a game that is won or lost.
