Netball: 'Bump' quick passing game

Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...

Julie

DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs over varying distances depending on the pass type.

Each pair should stand opposite their partner.
Each pair are given a number. The first pair are 5, the following pair are 10 and so on, going up in denominations of 5.
Players have to make their allocated amount of passes. Once they have done that they shout 'bump' and swap places with the pair next to them with the higher number. They then start their passing again, but add 5 to their original number. The pair who were 'bumped' have to start again, subtracting 5 from their starting number.
The aim is to move up the group and have as high a number as possible. Work for 2-4 minutes, then stop the players to see if they have moved up or down.

COACHING POINTS

Fun, high intensity practice - with lots of distractions in players' peripheral vision. Try to focus on speed of pass and also passing consistency - avoid too many dropped balls.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Hour Glass Passing:

Both W1 and W2 simultaneously receive the ball from the feedres, as shown in the diagram, and return the ball to the same feeder.

Then both W1 and W2 move around the cones in a figure of 8 receiving the ball at each cone from a feeder W2 will always be one station behind W1

Passing

10 passes to score:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

Small games

Catch pivot and pass relay:

The starting player passes the ball to the player moving towards the ball from the opposite group.

The receiving player who catches the ball should land on 1 foot, then land on their 2nd foot and pivot onto their 1st landing foot to pass the ball back the player on the side where they started.

Exercise reverses in the other direction.
