SKILL FOCUS: Passing and receiving EQUIPMENT: Hoops, netball ball & rugby ball. WHAT TO DO: Place two hoops that overlap in the center of the netball court. Place two hoops at the quarter line that overlap at both sides of the court. Place two hoops at the post separate from one another at both sides of the court. Two learners will sit in the hoops that overlap facing each other. They are not allowed to move their position. The learners at the post will also sit in the hoop but they may stand when they receive the ball to shoot a goal. On the word go the blue team will start with ball (netball/rugby). They will decide which side they will play towards. The defenders may try to hit the ball away to prevent the pass. If the defenders prevent the pass the red team starts. variations can be applied: Learners stand in the hoops thatâs placed next to each other. Let learners line up on the quarter lines in different hoops.
Make sure the learners include all the players on their team. motivate bounce passes. Use the rugby ball every second time the team starts.

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.
