This week we work on the mid-air turn - to improve the speed of your players' catching and the release of their follow up pass.
Netball's a fast and often frantic sport which is why your players should always be working on ways to speed up their movement and decision making on the court - in order to get the better of their opponents.
By reducing the time it takes to receive and pass the ball on again not only do you reduce the chances of your players being dispossessed, you'll also speed up your team's overall play!
What's in the Session?
To get your players jumping, receiving, turning and landing, ready to pass the ball in one fluid movement we start with a run and turn warm-up exercise before introducing a ball into the session. Gradually this session ups the pressure before finishing two fun conditioned games!

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
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.
