Get your players into two teams of 4/5/6, one team wears bibs.
The aim of the game is to get as many clean intercpetions as possible within the third over 60 seconds. You count how many clean intercepts each team can get when they are defending over the course of the 60 seconds.
Once a player intercepts the ball they must put the ball down on the ground for the attacking team to pick up and keep going.
Change over teams once the 60 seconds are over (attackers become defenders and vice versa) and see which team can get the most interceptions.
Remind your players to focus on their timing and to stay close to the players they're marking. Work on each player being marked at all times.
Play across a 1/3 of the court, with one team in bibs. You might like to keep a pen and paper handy to keep a tally of the interceptions during this game - that way you can add up all the scores come the end of the game!
After 60 secs repeat the same drill for 30 seconds, and then for 15 seconds.
Come the end of this game give the winning team high praise and a pat on back. The winning team can now think up a penalty for the losing side, ie. 10x sprints, 10x press ups, 10x, star jumps...
You will be surprised at what they come up wth as a penalty!

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
