Netball: Triangle drill

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

DESCRIPTION

Set up a triangle with two players on each point.

Players have to weave from the back to in front in order to receive the pass from the player to their right (ball travels in a clockwise direction).

Once players have received the pass they then pass the ball to the front of the next point in the triangle for another player to weave and receive.

COACHING POINTS

Progression:

Now, after players have weaved their way to the front to make the interception and made the pass to the next player they must follow their pass and join the front of the line on the next point of the triangle (by joining the front of the line this ensures that the player that was already on the cone will be go next).

Try to intercept:

Players work in groups of 4.

The feeder stands with the ball in front of the 3 other players. The two receiving players stand 5 meters away from the feeder and 2 meters apart. The defending player is only a few steps behind the receivers.

As soon as the pass is made by the feeder the defender can make their move and try to intercept the ball before it reaches its intended target.

The receivers are not allowed to move towards the pass.

When the defender successfully intercepts the ball they can swap with the receiver who now becomes the defender.

Interception

Time your Drive!:

The two blue players pass the ball between themselves quickly and accurately. Meanwhile the white players stands in the middle, watching the ball pass from left to right.

When they are ready the white player should position themselves between the ball and its intended recipient to make the interception.

Interception

Shadow, Shadow, React!:

Blue players 1 and 2 pass the ball to one another, attempting to make space for a straight pass to one of the white players

At the same time green player 1 shadows the movement of the ball between the 2 Blue players and attempts to intercept pass to one of the white players.

Team Drill - Intercepting Game:

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.
