Hi Beth,

Good footwork is such a key part of netball that any drill you decide to do will involve aspects that will help to develop footwork. Take a look at the drill I've attached, it involves an element of competition to keep your players engaged but also encourages them to work on movement and therefore their footwork as well. You can even include extra rules to ensure they are thinking about their landing and which foot to move.

I hope this helps!

10 passes to score

Description:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

Coaching Points:

Encourage players to communicate with one another to ensure they keep possession of the ball.

Try to get players to choose the correct pass for the situation i.e. if their is no defender between the ball and the team mate at a short distance a chest pass would be the best pass selection as it is the quickest and most direct pass.

Get your players thinking for themselves and what pass they are using!
