Two way game of netball with 2 teams and 2 balls!
Each GK starts the game at their end with a throw-in from the back line. Each team has to look after their ball and give their GS opportunity to score.
If their GS scores the ball goes back to the opposition's GK.
Stay Close to opponent. Pressure the pass. Deny space to win turnover of the ball.
Notes:
Players should try to win an interception so that they can keep possession of both balls and should use their defending skills to stop the other team from scoring.

Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
