the importance of speed in a game of netball
Hi Mia,
Speed is a key skill within netball in both attack and defence. In attack you need speed to change direction and get away from your defender to receive the ball and stay in possession. You also need speed of passing to get the ball flowing through court.
In defence speed of movement is crucial in order to not only stay with your attacker but also have the speed to move off and go for the interception.
Hope this helps.
Too add, Mia, you have to remember about the three second rule - in my opinion thatâs the worst (most annoying) way to turnover possession to the opponent.

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.
