Netball: Swing for Passes

I found this service to be excellent and it was of great help when...

Jo, Netball Coach

DESCRIPTION

Set up two squares side by side about 4 x 4m each.

Have a Feeder positioned at the top of each square, with an Attacker and a Defender in one of the squares.

The Feeder next to the box of the Attacker passes the ball to the Attacker, and the Defender tries to intercept. If the Attacker receives the ball they pass to the other Feeder and then run into the other box to receive the ball back. In this way they swing from side to side, trying to get free for every pass.

6-8 reps and then swap over
Feeders can swing the ball (pass between each other)

The Attacker can pass back to either Feeder

COACHING POINTS

How you get free 1 vs 1

Attackers need to:

Try to hold their space
Step across the Defender to get in front
Turn their back on the Defender so that their body is between the Defender and the pass

Ball placement by the Feeders is important

Triangle 2 vs 2:

Set up a triangle with cones. 2 players are attackers, 2 are defenders.

Attacker starts on the top of the triangle and the other starts on one of the bottom corners.

They are defended by 2 defenders the whole time.

The person at the top of the triangle starts with the ball, passes to the other attacker and runs into the triangle to receive the ball back. Again they pass to the other attacker and cross the bottom line of the triangle to be outside of the triangle.

They receive the ball back again and the other attacker runs to take their space at the top of the triangle. The attacker behind the line passes the ball to the new top attacker, takes one of the bottom corner spaces and the drill repeats.

Triangle for Getting Free:

Set up a triangle of attackers (3m apart) with a defender in the middle of them.

The person at the top of the triangle starts with the ball, passes to one of the other attackers and runs into the triangle to receive the ball back. They then pass again to either attacker and cross the bottom line of the triangle to be outside of the triangle. They receive the ball back again and the first attacker they passed to runs to take their space at the top of the triangle. The attacker behind the line passes the ball to the new top attacker, takes the free space and the drill repeats.

Getting free

under pressure and score:

i 4s 1 ball. 2 feeders with the ball. GS and GK in the circle GS has to get free to receive the ball and if she feels she is in a shooting position she can take the shot or she feeds the ball back to the other feeder.(the one that did not pass the original ball).

Getting free

Whole court attacking challenge:

Split group into 3 equal teams. Ideally 6 per team.

1 team is the attackers,
1 team are defenders,
1 team is resting off the court.

Split court in half. Half of the defence and attack are restricted to defending half of court while the rest of the players are restricted to attacking half of the court.

1 A starts with the ball on the baseline.
Attackers have 5 minutes to get the ball to the other end of the court and score as many times as they can. If the ball is tipped, intercepted or dropped the ball is taken back to the start.
After 5 minutes, defenders become attackers, attackers come off to rest, resting team become defenders.
