Working in half of the third with a feeder either side, an attacking players and defending player in the middle space. The attacking player is looking to recieve and send at least 5 successful passes for one feeder to the other. They can reset to the original feeder, but that does not count. The defending player is looking to delay, force an error or intercept. Swap working players. If making positional relevant, try on the other side of the court Make it positional relevant: Feeder could be in the circle as a GS/WA or on circle edge in the pocket ready to feed as a C/WA. The feeder could start from the backline as a GK/GD combination. The feeder could be on sideline to practise various combinations. Variation: Persistence in Defence: If the defending player gains possession (through intercept or attacking error) then the defender earns a rest and swaps out with one of the feeders. Otherwise the defender has to stay in and the attacking player swaps out!
This drill will demand perserservance for the defender; they will need to make clever decisions about what balls to run on and which to let land. Feet under body, body upright Angled to encourage movement of attacking player high, which makes the onwards pass more challenging. Timing to "release" attacking player to get distance and arms over. Delaying onwards movement once pass released. Being dogged in defence!

A ready-to-run Halloween session for High 5 and junior netball. Real drills in spooky costume, with a warm-up, a technical block, a decision-making game and a finish.
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.
