Create a diamond shape with 4 cones
Two players will work and will set up one on the back cone and one on the front cone
The two players will work together and read off each other to balance the diamond
As RED drives back (1), BLUE drives forward (1)
If RED moves latterally (2) BLUE may drive up (2)
The drill is continous and the players should work for a set time
Ensure the players movement is short and sharp
The workers should focus on their angles - having a small footbase and turning their hips quickly
The back player should read off the front player. When the players are latteral one player must be dominant and make a drive
The diamond should always be balanced

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
