Netball: Three Man Weave

1. The Player with the ball passes to player in space on the left.
2. 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.
3. This player then passes diagonally to the right.

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.

Starting on a backline, players move the ball through the court ending up with the shooter who puts a shot up.

Players should aim to pass the ball in the following order: GK, GD, WD, C, WA, GA, GS.

If WD had the ball for example, ideally the C should receive it, but WA also needs to offer in a different space for the ball, as well as the GD providing a back up offer if the C is not available.

There should always be a back-up offer from the player who has just received the ball, as well as a minimum of two offers from down the court.

Players should aim to time their movement so they are reading off each other.

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

1. Players are to pass to each other in their partners.
2. The 2 players at the far end (don’t have a ball) begin weaving in and out of players down their own side until they get to the opposite end.
3. Players who have just weaved call for a ball from the far end to get passed to them.
4. The player and the partner who are now at the far end without the ball begin to weave down themselves.
