Netball: 3 vs 3 Backline Pass to Centre Third

I am currently coaching a senior college team and I have found Sportplan...

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Dividing the court in half lengthways and widthways, players are aiming to get the ball from a backline throw into the centre third.

Simple 3 vs 3.

The player starting the drill is a GK and so cannot enter the centre third.

COACHING POINTS

Players need to be aware of space, they do not want to crowd into one area.

Can draw defenders to create space for the other attacker

OFTEN USED WITH...

Attackers Providing Options Around the Circle:

2 feeders, 2 attackers (WA, C) and 2 defenders and a GS set up as shown.

Attackers have to get the ball to the circle edge and then in to the GS

The feeders can swing the ball (pass between themselves)

Footwork

Attack the Top of the D:

The winger players passes the ball into the centre and then runs to the first blue cone
The winger then cuts inside and receives the ball back at the top of the D
As the winger receives the return pass the player in the D cuts outside and in to receive the ball, before taking a shot.

Footwork

3 straight forward running evasions:

1. Double cut back:

WA runs one way, stops abruptly and changes direction before again changing direction for a second time to go and meet the pass.

2. Cut back:

WA runs one way, stops quickly - changes direction and runs into space to meet the pass.

3. Double bluff:

WA runs and stops, making it look as though they are going to cut back before continuing their run in the direction they were already running to meet the pass.
