Netball: Mirror movement - Partners

Set up: Full court space, 4 x mini hurdles, 8x short ladders, 10x cones.

Players are divided into 2 groups.  

Players start at baseline.

Two players, from the front of each line begin by jumping over the mini hurdles (set up at right angles to each other).

They then run to ladders set up in a cross formation. 

Action 1: Forward steps into each square.

Action 3: Left turn: Forward steps into each square and backwards to return to the middle. 

Action 3: Right turn. Steps in and out of squares both directions to the middle.

Action 4: Stright weave with both feet in each square. 

Players run towards cones set out in a zig zag formation across the middle third space. Players run from cone to cone in a zig zag direction.

The focus is on taking off the outside foot. 

Players sprint to the end baseline then turn and sprint back to where they came from. 

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. 

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set up: Goal third, 1 ball, 1 passer, 2 midcourt, 1 shooter, 2-3 defence.

• Ball starts with passer behind transverse line.
• Both midcourt players drive from the transverse line to circle edge then back off again (creating the ‘M’).
• Passer delivers ball to one of the midcourt players off the circle who then delivers the second ball to the other midcourt plyer on the circle edge. Option: Passer candeliver directly to shooter who may choose to come out of the circle. Shooter then is to deliver a pass to a midcourter and get into position.
• Ball delivered to shooter, who puts the shot up.

Create a narrow channel for 2 attackers and 2 defenders to work in, from the centre circle to the end of court.

Have a feeder on each side of the channel; both able to move along the side.

Attackers are attempting to play the ball over the baseline.

Defenders are focusing on keeping the attackers high or forcing them to make as many passes as possible.

(The more passes the attackers are forced to make the better. This is because they are more likely to make errors under fatigue and gives the defenders more opportunities to intercept.)

Points

Attackers pass the ball over the baseline = 1 point to Attackers

Defender intercepts the ball =1 point to Defenders
