Edge of Circle Drill 1

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

DESCRIPTION

F sends ball to A as they drive onto the circle edge at speed

GS holds high and strong at an angle

A feeds into the space beyond

Options

If ball doesn't land on the circle edge, but is still in play, the A should "reset by coming off the circle and back onto it again.

With larger groups, have a queue of WAs with balls that can send ball to the C then drive forward.

Start the play from a C pass, or simulate ball coming down court from a turnover ball

COACHING POINTS

Good ball placement ahead of player onto the circle edge. 

Landing on the circle edge in a balanced and controlled manner

These 2 skills may need some practise ahead of putting into the rest of this drill. In small groups, the players can choose any lines on the court to practise this until they are more comfortable

GS initial hold and angle is key; it must be strong and high

Trust that the feeder can view and place the ball into 'safe' space; decision led by feeder rather than shooter

The feed from the edge can be measured and controlled, no need to rush! Land and balance, take a breathe, and then place the ball neatly into the space!
