Split the group in 2, one 1/2 line up on a tranverse line two arms width apart - the Attackers. The remaining players line up opposite a partner at 3ft - 1 mtr - Defenders. The group on the line has a ball per player and pretend to be passing the ball all over the place, high, low, side, fake bounce etc. The defenders defend the spcae without falling in for 4-5 secs. Repeat 3 - 5 times and then swap over (no need to move just give the ball to the other partner).

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.
