Netball: Power jumps

Improve defence throughout your team and deny the opposition space with this forcing the error and interception plan

The player without the ball (the worker) drives forwards, taking approximately 5 steps before then rapidly running backwards towards one of the cones.

As they reach the cone the other player should feed a high pass for them to jump up and catch as they are moving backwards.

Repeat 5 times and then swap player's roles.

Working in pairs, with one ball between two.

The player without the ball is the worker. They must drive forwards to the first cone immediately in front of them before running back to their starting point. From this position they should then drive out at a 45 degree angle to the cone either to the left or their right.

At this point the other player feeds a high pass for the player to jump and catch.

Repeat 5 times before changing over.

Two feeders stand in middle of the court, either side of the center circle.

The attacking player passes the ball out to the feeder and then runs out, looking for the return pass. The defender must react and look to push the attacker wide and/or intercept the ball.

The first team starts with the ball inside the attacking third, with all the other players except one stood outside the area.

The aim for the team in the area with the ball is to complete as many sets of 5 passes as possible. Every time they complete 5 passes another defender from outside the area is allowed in to try and intercept the ball.

Once all of the defending players have entered the playing area, or after an interception has been made, the teams change over and try to beat the first teams score.
