Netball: Overload Variation

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...

Donna, Coach

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 WA should cut their angle towards the ball and receive the pass from the C
The WA will then do a 'give-and-go' with the WD, who should receive the ball lateral to the WA
The WA penetrate down court to the circle edge to receive the ball back from the WD
The GS will hold their space until the WA 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 GS can choose to take the shot (as shown in the animation)
OR
The GA can receive the ball from the GS under the post

By the WA and GA being in a staggered position it will make sure the timing that they both cross the line will be staggered, to ensure they do not cross the line and provide an offer at the same time
The WA should try to receive the ball on the circle edge - therefore not allowing a 3ft marker to set up and making the pass into the circle easier
The GS should ensure they do not drive out too early or they will be marked

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

Centre Pass Set Plays

The GA will set up on the line ensuring their defender is on their inside (as shown)
The WA will start off the line and not directly behind the GA - you need the defence to believe you are going to offer straight for the ball
The WA will go around the GA, as they are holding this space, and receive the ball from the C
The GA will then flip out and receive the next ball deep into the goal third
The GS will hold their space until the GA has caught the ball and turned full so the GA is ready to release the ball
The GS will receive the ball from the GA and they can put up a shot

Centre Pass Set Plays

The WA and GA will start in a stacked position, so one player will be on the line (GA in this example) and the other player approximately 1-2 meters directly behind (WA)
Both the WA and GA will offer for the centre pass, however the player on the line (GA) will lead the movement
If the GA chooses to go right, the WA must go in the opposite direction, so they would go left as shown
The WA receives the ball from the C
Once the WA has received the ball the GS will time their movement and drive out of the circle at an angle to receive the ball from the WA
The GS will then do a 'give-and-go' with the C, who would have drive to the top of the circle and landed circle edge
The GS will receive the ball from the C and can put up a shot
OR
The GA can receive the ball from the GS under the post
