Netball: Three Man Weave

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

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Set up: 6+ players, full court space, 1-4 balls, 8 cones

Three cones are set up across the width of the court about a meter in from the sideline. In groups of three players line up across from each other behind the cones.

Cones may be placed along the sideline so player understand they are to stay on the outside of theses cones but still in court.

The ball starts with the middle person. Player on the left cone drives out straight and receives a pass from the middle. Middle person then runs to the person they passed the ball to. Player on left who received the pass, deliveries the ball to the third player who has driven out on the right. When players pass they the follow it to the player they have passed to take their position. Players continue this ‘weave’ down the court.

COACHING POINTS

Cones may be placed along the sideline so players understand they are to stay on the outside of theses cones but still in court.

Encourage players to pass on the move and to keep passes accurate.

Great drill for moving down the court and balancing the court (limit bunching).

OFTEN USED WITH...

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.

Movement

The Three Musketeers:

Split players into 3s. White players are attackers, the blue players are the defenders.

The 3 attackers aim is to get to the other end of the court.

They must make 3 passes in each third before progressing to the next one (3 defenders in each, this can start as static defence and gradually become more active as the attack progresses).

Players attack up the court twice and then down the court twice before switching with the next group of three.

Passing

Team Zig Zag:

Set up: 2 lines of players in partners set up across from each other with one ball per partner.

Players are to pass to each other in their partners.
The 2 players at the far end (donât have a ball) begin weaving in and out of players down their own side until they get to the opposite end.
Players who have just weaved call for a ball from the far end to get passed to them.
The player and the partner who are now at the far end without the ball begin to weave down themselves.

Group practices

Down court progressions:

Full team lined up down the length of the court about 2 metres off the midline.

1.Ball starts down one end of the court. Players are to drive straight to reci

2. Players are to make a movement (i.e. dodge) before receiving the ball in the middle of the court. Players to turn and pass down the court.

2. Players make a movement before driving into the middle of the court.

3. First player in the line 'clears out', second player drives foward to receive the pass. Pass is given to the player who has peeled out and so on down the court.
