Netball: Pivot and Pass

I am currently coaching a senior college team and I have found Sportplan...

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Split your players into groups of 4 with one ball. Each group forms 2 lines.

The front person from the 1st line (red player) runs out to receive ball from the blue player at the front of the other line.
After receiving the ball they pivot and throw to the next person in their line.
Players then sprint to rejoin the back of their line.
Repeat

Try to get this activity to be free flowing and continuous

COACHING POINTS

Players need to ensure they are balanced before throwing the ball back.

Land on outside foot and pivot on this foot.

Players need to time their lead runs - not go too early as they do not want to be waiting to receive the ball but driving onto it. This will limit the opposition's opportunity to make an interception.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Lead Running - Group Practice:

Players stand in a line spaced down the length of the court and the player at the end starts with the ball.

When everyone is ready the next person in line runs out to receive the pass.

The receiver then pivots and throws to the next person who has run out to receive the pass. Once the ball gets to the other side the ball comes back in the same way.

Movement

Run, receive and pass:

Split the group into 3s.

1 Ball per group.

Blue 1 runs between white 1 and 2 to receive the ball. They jump, land and turn and then feed on to white 2.
After 10 passes rotate.
Repeat, receiving on the other side.
Progression
Blue 1 turns in the air before landing.

Passing

Pass and move in 3s:

Player 2 feeds the ball to Player 1 before sprinting forward to receive the ball. Player 2 then returns the ball to Player 1, sprints onto the third line and then back to receive a 2nd high pass and then feed onto 3.

Repeat

Passing

Time your run - pass and move:

The Player with the ball passes to player in space on the left.
The player receiving the ball jumps into the air, prior to pass and turns in the air to receive ball, finishing up facing backwards to return ball to player in the same queue.
This player then passes diagonally to the right.
