Netball: Getting free

Burst into space using quick footwork and scan the pitch to be more aware of your passing options!

Befuddle, Bamboozle and lose your marker - Coach this session to teach your players how to find space for the WA to receive the Center Pass!

Players work in 4s, with 1 ball.

GS and GK work in the middle with a feeder either side.

The GS in the middle positions herself on the opposite side to the ball. So when the lob pass is thrown to the other side the GK cannot move to get in between the feeder and the GS.

This should make for an easier pass to the GS inside the circle for the shot.

Split players into pairs with one ball between them.

The worker (player 2) drives from the centre to a cone and then back to the centre again to receive the ball from the feeder (player 1).

The worker then passes back to the feeder and repeats. Each worker repeats this 10 times before changing over.

Players stay in groups of 3 with 1 ball.
2 players stand in the grid and 1 player outside with the ball.

The players inside the grid alternate to get free from each other to receive the ball from the player on the outside.

Set an allotted period of time for players to complete the pass (ticking clock).

Split players into 4s inside a coned area. The attackers (white) start with the ball on the outside of the playing area.

To begin with White 2 feints a movement one way and then sprints in opposite the direction (to begin with use a passive defender).

After white 1 has passed the ball, she then has to do a feint dodge and run in opposite direction to receive the ball.

Try to get 3 / 5 passes in a row before possession changes.
