Player throws the ball to the opposition when she gets the ball?

Lee-annes NetballCoach, Australia

generally players do this when they rush their pass, or they dont time their passes correctly.

why dont you play a game at training, where there are more defenders than attack.  make sure the attacks are clearly recognisable, and your defenders are told to start off with only putting in a half an effort of defence (ie run with their players but make no attempt to get the intercept).  remind your player that she has 3 seconds to pass, and she doesnt have to just chuck the ball away to get rid of it.  that she has to look for the best option.  your other players can use the time as getting in front or away from their opponents.

once she is passing better to an easily defended player, then get the defence to increase their intensity.  

make sure that your attackers are not breaking too early to shut down their options, and that they are calling clearly for the ball, using good preliminary moves to get clear of their opponents, and that they arent all running towards her at once.  just one good clear break at a time, then a back up if needed.

hope she improves.

Go back to the school yard - KEEP AWAY! KEEEP AWAY!!

Start with a 2 small groups and choose 2 girls to 'Keep the ball' away from.

It brings in laughter, concerntration and you can build up from it aswell.

1. once your groups have got the hang of keeping the ball away from people, change players around, create a larger group and start again.
2. You can make sure your players are driving properly to the ball.
3. that passes are firm.
4. Make sure players are trying to find a new space to drive to.
