Set To The Rim:

Players stand in a row facing a basketball or netball rim. The aim is for the players to set the ball and attempt to get it to go through the rim. Players take turns and join the back of the queue after their set.

Get Up and Set:

Players start by lying on their back on the baseline. When the coach whistles, they quickly get up and overhand pass the ball to themselves while moving forwards and backwards from the net.

Ball Slalom:

Place a few balls on the baseline and spread them out. Players move in and out between the balls, moving as if they were in defence. Make sure players avoid contact with the balls.

Set Up, Set Forward:

Have two players on each side of the court. The player at the front sets the ball in the air and then moves out of the way for the other player to set the ball to the other pair on the other side of the court.
