Netball: 1 vs 1 Movement

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

DESCRIPTION

Create a square, approximately 3m x 3m as shown by the by the blue cones in the diagram.

Two feeders will stand either side of the square, with an attacker and defender in the middle.

The attacker will get free to receive the ball from one feeder (as shown) and then offload to the other feeder.

The attacker will then get free again to receive the ball from this feeder and the pass to the opposite feeder - the process repeats.

The attacker must alternate feeders each time.

The practice is continuous, therefore the attacker will continue to work for a set number of passes or a set time.

Ensure all players are rotated to get an opportunity at each role.

COACHING POINTS

Remind the players of ways to get free from the defender - these may include a change of pace, change of speed, rolls or using their body for example.

The feeders have an important role to place the ball accurately and away from the defender.

The attacker should turn their hips and head fully to offload the ball - this will help open the attackers vision, as well as maintain an advantage from the defender.

PROGRESSION

Challenge the attacker to complete a set number of passes consecutively without a mistake or a touch from the defender - for example 5 consecutive passes before they can switch out of the square.

To challenge the defence you could set a condition that they may only switch out if they interrupt the practice - either a tip or interception.

Taking on a defender 1v1

Develop your player's ability to get free from their opponent quickly and effectively to maintain or gain possession of the ball.

Creating and penetrating space to lose the defender and protect the ball

A good pass isn?t just made by the passer, the receivers movement must be spot on to create it. Develop your players explosive leads to get free from their marker and receive the pass.

OFTEN USED WITH...

2 Vs. 2 - Pass and Move:

Players take it in turns to run through the defender's areas as pairs. The player without the ball leads into the space. Working together they should try to pass and move, maintaining possession of the ball, from one side to the other.

If players successfully pass and support each other to the other side without losing the ball they pass the ball to the next pair and then join the back of the queue.

If the ball is intercepted though the pair who lost the ball become the defenders and the original defenders take the runner's place at the back of the queue.

1 vs 1 Centre Pass:

Set up a 3m x 3m area, with an attacker and a defender inside. A feeder stands outside the area and starts with the ball. You can set this up in the context of the court with the feeder starting on the Centre circle and the box being in a shooting third.

The feeder tosses the ball up to themselves to start the drill and turns to face the attacker.

The attacker's aim is to come over the front line to recieve the ball, getting free from the defender.

3 seconds for a pass once drill has begun.

1-2 Taking on two defenders:

One A starts with the ball. She passes to her partner who has made a move to get past a defender.
First A then moves, taking on the other defender to receive the ball back from her partner, a 1-2 passing pattern.
A then passes to another A at the front of the opposite line to where she started.
Defenders mark tightly.
Working As line up at the back of the opposite line to where they started.
New As repeat.
