Hi Hanli, For defending the shot stretches in netball, you can focus on drills that improve agility, timing, and positioning to effectively contest shots. Here are a couple of drills from the drill library that can help:
- LJLL - Lean, Jump, Ladder, Late Hand: This drill focuses on defending techniques like leaning, jumping, and using a late hand to contest shots without breaking the obstruction rule. It's crucial to maintain the correct distance and timing to disrupt the shooter's rhythm.
- Quick Feet with Jump: This drill emphasizes fast footwork and jumping, which are essential for defending shots. Players work on quick movements and jumping at strategic points to challenge the shooter.
These drills will help your players develop the necessary skills to effectively defend against shots by improving their agility and timing. You can find more details and coaching points for these drills on Sportplan.
