drills to improve interception in a game of netball?

ANSWERS
Matt MorrisonPlayer, England

Hi Maaria,

Players should focus on:

  • Timing their movement to intercept the ball.
  • Try to anticipate when the attacker will release the ball.
  • Defenders should stay on their toes so they can react as quickly as possible.

I hope this was helpful!

Great answer Matt! Here is a nice intercept drill from Marg Foster I found on Sportplan!

Three Way Intercept

DESCRIPTION
Set up: 3 lines are set up in triangle formation, one ball. 3 feeders at the front with adefensive player behind. Ball is passed around the 3 front players. Feeder is at the front of each line with the intention to receive a pass from any two of the other lines. Player immediately behind the front person is to time an intercept from incoming pass. Once pass received from defender it can be passed to any other line and the same is repeated. Rotate through feeders and defenders.
