Hi Diwakar,

Here are a couple of recommended attack set plays that you can incorporate into your netball training sessions:

GK Backline Set Play:

Description: This play involves the GK starting with a backline throw-in and passing through a series of players until it reaches the GA for a shot.
Coaching Points: Ensure passes are flat and precise, drives are sharp and direct, and players driving onto the circle edge get as close to the line as possible.
Details: 1 GK Backline Set Play.

Set Play - Attacking Centre:

Description: This play starts with the WA and GA drawing their defenders wide, then driving in court to receive passes and ultimately setting up the GS for a shot.
Coaching Points: Focus on timing the runs and ensuring the players lose their markers effectively.
Details: 2 Set Play - Attacking Centre.

These plays should help your team improve their attacking strategies and execution during matches. Let me know if you need more details or further assistance!

Best, Cam
