Working in pairs with a ball and in a small space. Working player starts in the middle of the space, on toes ready to work Feeder drops the ball to one of the front corners. Working players runs onto ball, taking feet with her, to retrieve, stands to give a good pass back to the feeder. The feeder immediately releases a liften pass to land in the back corner. The working players turns hips inwards (to keep ball in view), runs to that back corner and we are looking for a vertica jump and/or balanced landing with the ball. Practise 5 on each side. Progression The working player drives hard to any corner and the feeder releases the ball lifted to any other corner. the working player has to adjust and drive hard to collect and land balanced.
Feet under body, no lunging, take them all the way with you for both passes. Use of arms in running to aid with momentum. Reaching out to grab ball in at earliest opportunity but NOT running with arms out stretched! Think about the body angle on the run - hip and feet in direction of travel but body/head open to view the ball

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.
