Netball: Banana Peel

The best attackers aren?t only the best at shooting, their movement off the defenders to create space is exceptional. Develop players who can find the space and then finish under pressure every time.

• The WA and GA will start in a staggered position, with one player (WA in this example) on the line and the other (GA) positioned off the line
• Both the WA and GA will offer for the centre pass
• WA will receives the ball from the C
• GA recognises that they did not receive first ball and will clear out to get down court into the circle
• Once the C has passed the ball to the WA they will then drive deep down court to receive the second phase ball from back from the WA
• The GS will hold their space until the C has received the ball and is ready to pass in - they will then drive onto the ball, driving towards the edge of the circle to leave space for the GA
• The GA should be able to receive the ball from the GS under the post 

It is common that the defending C will drop back and double mark either the WA or GA, if that happens... 

• The WA has been double marked and therefore will pull wide taking both the WD and C with her - this has now left room for the GA 
• Both the WA and GA will drive out and offer for the ball, however the GA will receive the ball from the C
• As the defending C has been pulled wide, it will allow the atttacking C the central channel to drive hard and get the ball from the GA at the top of the circle 
• The GS will be holding their front space and receive the ball from the C ready to put up a shot 

• The WA and GA will start in a staggered position, with one player (GA in this example) on the line and the other (WA) positioned off the line
• Both the WA and GA will offer for the centre pass
• GA receives the ball from the C
• WA recognises that they did not receive first ball and drives deep down court to receive the second phase ball from the GA
• The GS will hold their space until the WA has released the ball and the GS will receive the ball into space
• The GS will put the ball up for a shot 

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters

Set up: 

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line. 

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group. 

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball. 

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V. 

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.
