Netball: GA Receive

Master a number of set plays focusing on getting the ball out from a centre pass, through the second phase and into a position to shoot.

• 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 
• 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
• The GS will then exit from the top of the circle to receive the ball from the WA
• The GA will time their movement to enter the circle and receive the ball from the GS allowing her to put up a shot

• The WA and GA will set up on the same side of the court
• They should be in a staggered position, so one slightly in front of the other (as shown in the diagram) 
• The WA, GA and WD will all come over the line to produce an offer for the ball 
• The WD will receive the ball from the C 
• The C will do a 'give-and-go' with the WD and receive the ball inside the goal third
• The WA will have driven to the top of the circle to receive the ball from the C
• The GS will drive to the top of the circle and receive the ball from the WA, opening up the circle for the GA
• GA will then penetrate the space has the GS created and receive the ball
