Defender Starts in front of the attacker in the " starting position" and both face the same direction. STARTING POSITION - Defender stands in front of the attacker and half covers her body. She must be able to see the ball and the attacker at the same time. Look halfway between Attacker moves from side to side covering about 3 - 4 m while the defender tries to stay in the ` starting position`. Work for about 10 seconds, rest, repeat 10 times before swapping roles. Repeat with heat facing other side. Defender should try to keep the attacker on one side of her ( that is keep head facing the same way) for as long as possible. IF she is running flat out then she can swing her head to keep the ball and attacker in sight.

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.
