This week's session aims to solve a common banana-shaped problem that is prevalent in many teams.
Banana I hear you ask? Well yes, this is the lackadaisical half moon shaped run that many players make when they want to receive the ball from a fellow team-mate, with no change of pace, no urgency and ultimately no result.
How can I banish these banana-shaped runs?
To help you break through the opposition's defence we look at a well known basketball play which can easily be adopted into your netball repertoire. Using a combination of drills, plays and conditioned games you will be able to teach your players the V-Cut. The V-Cut is a two directional run, requiring a burst of acceleration and a quick change of direction, to ensure there's not a banana in sight!
Use this session today to see your players making more dynamic runs to lose their markers and meet the ball - the other team won't know what's hit them!

No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
Train your defenders to win clean turnovers, not just disrupt. The difference between good defenders and great ones is taking the ball, not just touching it.
Netball is experiencing unprecedented growth, with record viewership, evolving rules, and professional leagues expanding worldwide. Here's what 2026 brings for our sport.
