Backline Practise Attack 1

I found this service to be excellent and it was of great help when...
Jo, Netball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Not set-play, rather working through options for backlines within the attacking circle.

Asking players to consider:

1. How quickly can you set-up for the backline? Of what do you need to be aware in the preceding play?

2. Who is offering for ball? Are they holding a static space or are they prepared to move?

3. How are the defence angled? Are they man-on or marking space and what impact will that have on the pass?

4. What are the "back-up" options? How should players react if that plan has to come into play?

In this instance, I have tried to show a few options from a similar set-up.

For 1st phase:

  • WA can be holding strong or driving on circle edge.
  • GS strong hold under post with space for lifted ball 

For 2nd phase

  • Quick 1-2 to GA
  • Overhead to GS
  • Swing to C for flat ball into GS

All of this can quickly change by shift in angle from defender so if players have a grip on the principles, it's important to run through at full pace with defence working to combat!
