Players work in pairs (one defender, one attacker).
The court is divided into 3 channels along the length of the court. The ball is placed in the center court channel.
Players must jog, sprint and dodge their way through each outside channel - with the defender trying to stay between the attacker and the static ball in the center of the court.
Defender shadows the attacker, keeping her on the outside of the channel.
Start slowly and build up pace gradually. On the coach's whistle players must stop where they are and the defender should take up a static position - half covering their player, ensuring they have a good body angle which enables them to see both the ball in the center and the attacker using their peripheral vision.
A thrower can be added who can pass to an attacker if they manage to find space between the defender and the ball.

The Wing Attack is the critical link between midcourt possession and circle feeding. This masterclass breaks down the movement patterns, timing, and spatial awareness that separate elite WAs from the rest, with practical drills to develop these skills at every level.
Footwork is the foundation of every skill in netball. This guide provides a clear explanation of the stepping rule, the mechanics of one-foot and two-foot landings, pivoting technique, and progressive drills to build footwork confidence from junior level upward.
The early 'shoot from anywhere' era is over. Smart teams now use data-driven decision models to decide when the two-pointer is worth it.
