Split the group into teams. 2 teams (with 3 attack and 3 defence in each third of the netball court). 1 ball per third. Attackers have to make as many passes as they can without it being dropped, tipped or intercepted in 3 minutes. Keep note of the score. Swap over. Attackers have to see how many times they can get from one length of the third to the other without the ball being tipped or intercepted by defenders. Keep note of the score. Work for 3 minutes then swap over. Attackers have to employ a variety of ways of getting free from their opponent. Defenders need to use man to man marking. Player with the ball has to think about ball placement and type of pass to ensure the ball gets to intended player.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
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.
