Netball: Body Angles- 5 Points

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

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Players set up like five points on a die- these are the feeders.
Workers start in the middle facing out to one of the feeders who has the ball.
Worker recieves a pass in the middle and passes back. They then drive on an angle towards the the far point on the same side as the ball ensuring they can see the ball and body angle is indicating where they would like the ball. Feeder sends a long pass to the point the worker is heading to.
Worker then passes a long pass to the far diagonal feeder. They then front cut the middle point to receive another pass on the drive and pass back to the feeder.
Once again they turn body angle to see the ball as well as indicate where they are heading and drive to the last far point on the die and receive a long pass from the feeder.
Repeting again, the long diagonal pass and front cut for the pass in the middle.
Roatate players after player makes a few successful run-throughs.

Important that players are aware of their body angles. When moving back for the long pass, players to never turn their backs on the ball but to have one shoulder angling towards where they are driving and are looking to receive the ball.
Long ball passes must be accurate- if players are struggling to hit targets then make the square smaller.
Workers to use short sharp footwork to cut around the middle point. Ensure the worker is driving around the post. Post players should be ready to catch the ball if the worker misses it.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Set up: Shooting circle, 4-7 players, 1 ball, cones.

Divide three channels across the court (you can refer to these as channel 1, 2 or 3 or first, second, economy class).
Use cones to determine channels for players that are learning the areas.
One channel in front of center transverse line (center pass area).
Another channel between transverse line and top of circle.
Final channel is from top of the circle to baseline (shooting area).
Center feeder to pass ball to first attacker who will drive from WA position to middle of the first channel.
Attacker to turn and pass to second receiver who will drive circle edge and pass the ball into the shooter.
Shooter to shoot.

Movement

The queueing players must sprint and change direction before receiving the ball from the feeder.

Once they've received the pass the ball is then passed onto the receiver (red 2) who passes back to the feeder.

Movement

Set up: A wall, one third space, one ball, 4+ cones, 2 players.

4 cones are set up in a zig zag formation down the length of a third space towards a wall.
The ball is placed on the furthest away cone.
A defending player stands in the middle of the cones, they are to ‘pick up’ the attacker when they drive out.
The attacker, drives out towards the first cone and zig zags towards all cones to move past the defender and get the ball off the cone.
The attacker passes the ball to the wall and gets the rebound.

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set up: Half court, 3 stationary feeders, 3 balls, 1 attacker, 1-3 defence.

Feeders are placed in an extended triangle formation. Each feeder has a ball.
Attacker drives out from transverse line to first feeder where a pass is received, attacker returns pass and moves around the feeder.
Attacker does so with the other two feeders in the extended triangle formation creating a 'zig zag'.
Attacker works her way through the 'zig zag' in both directions without errors.
