Working in 3s with a ball.
1 attacker, 1 defender and 1 feeder.
Attacker and defender moving along a 2 metre line - feeder to stand with the ball 2 metres in front of the players.
Defender to stand in front with back to the attacker - ensure position of body is at 45 degree angle. Tell players this is how the defender should stay during this drill.
Attacker and defender to move long the line - feeder moves the ball up, down and from side to side.
Defender has to shout where the ball is using periheral vision.
Rotate so all players take a turn.
Progression:
Feeder now passes the ball to the attacker (attacker to work at 30% - defender to intercept. Work until 5 interceptions are made then rotate players.

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
