Netball: Individual Footwork

This is a very simple relay practice with the emphasise on the player running in catching the ball and landing on one foot and then the next. The players are required to say ICE with first foot touching the floor and Cream when the2nd foot hits the ground. then pass and follow the ball to the other side.

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.

Set up: one third space, one ball between two, cones (one between two).

One partner to be standing on the third line with the ball facing the baseline.

Other partner starts on the baseline, drives out to cone (about halfway down the third), turns and drives back to the baseline. Turns again and accelerates to partner who is holding the ball. 

Play should recieve pass before the cone. 

2 Feeders and 1 worker.

1. The worker receives the ball from one of the feeders and passes it diagonally to the other feeder.
   
   
2. Worker then moves across to receive the ball back from the second feeder.
   
   
3. Repeat.

It's very important that the worker lands on the outside foot every time she catches the ball to be able to step with the other foot towards her next intended pass.
