Use a line or cones to define where the defender can work. The attacking player is looking to get past the defending player without being tagged and only using a change of pace! On the attacking players's die of the line, they can move towards and back to encourage the defender to make a decision about where to move. This will "create" a space/gap for the attacker who will then change pace/movement type to try to avoid the defender without adding in a further change of direction! Try these combinations: walk to sprint skip to sprint sidestep to sprint jog to sprint You could use a bib in back of shorts. Progression: Add in a feeder at the far end to send in a pass once the defender has been beaten. Defender should still go for the tag on attacker Progress further with the defender going for the ball rather than the player (but must first look to delay movement of player)
The attacker has to do enough in the first place to interest the defender and create a space The advantage lies with the attacker in that only she know when she will 'attack' Head up, feet under body, hips aligned forward, confidence and commitment!

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
