3 v 2 with GS blocking

In this exercise look at how the GS is blocking the GK in the circle from moving to wards the side the 2nd pass is thrown (right to left). By the GS turning towards the player with the ball the GS will have created a space i which to receive the ball.

Getting free

Centre pass practice

Play an attacking game situation of a centre pass with free flow at the line. A centre, WA and GA are looking to move the ball for 2 passes with a GD and WD attempting to intercept WA and GA provide 2 leads; Centre uses decision making skills to select the best option. Once the Centre has passed the ball they can move forward to provide a 2nd phase passing option. Play 2-3 phases.

Decision making

Defenders Dictating Play

Create a narrow channel for 2 attackers and 2 defenders to work in, from the centre circle to the end of court. Have a feeder on each side of the channel; both able to move along the side. Attackers are attempting to play the ball over the baseline. Defenders are focusing on keeping the attackers high or forcing them to make as many passes as possible. (The more passes the attackers are forced to make the better. This is because they are more likely to make errors under fatigue and gives the defenders more opportunities to intercept.) Points Attackers pass the ball over the baseline = 1 point to Attackers Defender intercepts the ball =1 point to Defenders Best of 5

Defence

End Zone Game

Using cones create two end-zones either side of the middle 3rd on the court and divide your players into 2 equal teams. One player starts with the ball in their end zone and starts the game with a pass. The team in possession of the ball has to always keep one player in the oppositon's end zone - This players has to be marked by 2 defenders. The rest of the players play in the centre, this creates an overload for the team in possession. The aim of the game is for the team in possession to score as many points as possible before losing possession or within a time limited. A point is scored with every pass and 5 points are scored for every pass made to the player in the end zone.

Interception

Islands

Create all different islands on the court by using cones. Players need to get in pairs with 1 ball between 2. You need 1 or 2 catchers in between the islands (catches are not allowed on the islands). The aim of the game is that the players in a pair have to try and visit all the islands but to be able to move to the next island they need to pass the to their partnerand avoid the catchers. Catchers are not allowed to intercept the ball. Only tag players inbetween the islands.

Small games

Run out and touch cone - Conditioned Game

After players have made a pass they must then run to any cone on the outside of the court and touch it before re-joining the game. Depending on the ability of your players, you can condition the game so the defenders must follow them to the cone.

Small games

Set Play - Attacking Centre pass

WA and GA line up in the middle slightly off-line behind each other On the whistle both players split to receive the ball. WA drives one way, GA drives the other way to create a second option C - WA - C - GS

Movement

Switch

Example GD clears and runs in a crest WD moves to receives ball from GK and passes the ball to GD GD then passes the ball to C The Centre should take up a position just over the transverse line in the centre third. This will prevent congestion in the goal third and give the WD and GD space to bring the ball through and consequently the ball carrier has an option of a team-mate ready to receive ball further up the court. The WD and GD are set up as shown. One of these players will cut across the other (taking her opponent with her). This creates space for the other player to drive into with the opponents chasing. The player who drives across (this is called clearing out) continues to run in a crest shape and offers for the next pass. The subsequent pass may well go to the Centre and by now the ball should be 2/3rd up the court in 3 passes. If the timing is correct the ball should travel up the court in a straight line. The team has successfully converted good defence work into an exciting attack.

Movement

Tag Warm Up

Create a box out of cones in the middle of one third. 3 attackers start in this area with the ball. 3 defenders are positioned around the box in the third. The attackers aim is to reach the outside lines by running with the ball, but they can only do this one at a time. The defenders aim is to tag the attackers to prevent them from reaching the third edges. If an attacker is tagged they then pass back to another attacker in the box, who will attempt to run to the sideline. Attackers need to find and create gaps.

Warm ups

Time limit Game

2 teams play a normal game of netball. The only difference being that every player who receives the ball has to pass the ball within 2 seconds. If they fail to do so that player must put the ball on the floor for the other team to collect before the game can continue.
