I need to know how to make the drill harder.
Hi Jasmine,
To make the Rebound - Groups drill harder, start the drill at the transverse line instead of the edge of the circle. Start the ball with a C and the other in the opposite line as a GA. Then have one attacking player in the circle as the GS who is being marked by a GK. Also have a GD for the defensive side who starts on the edge of the circle.
The C and GA will have to work against the GD to get the ball into the circle, then the C, GA and GS will have to play well to create opportunities in the circle (using the C on the edge when needed). The rebounds will need to be fiercely competed over in a tight, congested circle.
This will test the players ability to create scoring opportunities, as well as encourage them to get into the circle to try and capitalise on a rebound. With three attackers and two defenders, the drill will have a nice overload to allow as many scoring and rebound opportunities as possible and with more bodies in the circle, both the attackers and defenders will have to work harder to win the rebound.
Below is the original drill so you can see how the adjustments I`ve suggested will work.
I hope this helps and good luck!
Thanks

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.
