How to stop children bunching together when passing down the court
Hi Nicky,
I have attached a video answer for you. The first half of the video explains the issue of overcrowding and how it can easily occur, with the second half of the video providing a drill to help overcome this.
It is important your players increase their spatial awareness, so they can see where other players are before making their movement. Players often simply follow the ball, leading to overcrowding, therefore you need to focus on the importance of MAKING and CREATING space for others. This means that a player not necessarily receive the ball but they could've driven into a space which has drawn multiple defenders in, which has then created space for others. This role is just as important as the player who receives the ball.
Hope this helps.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
