Netball: Quick criss cross

Develop your player's ability to execute a strong, direct and accurate pass to help maintain possession of the ball.

Have two lines of players both stood behind a cone on the edge of the first third.

The red player starts with the ball. The blue player sprints to the cone on the baseline and receives the diagonal overhead pass from the red player.

Once they have received the ball the blue player then passes the ball to the next player in their team before sprinting the back of their line.

The drill repeats the other way round (blue passing to red). Drill continues in this way.

Set up 4 lines of players down a third. 2 lines at each end, facing each other, 1, 2, 3, 4

A1 passes to A2, and runs in front of A2 to receive the ball back.

A2 Passes to A1 and runs to in front of where A1 was.

A1 passes to A3 and the same happens at the other side. Players join the end of the lines at the other side.

2 Balls starting with Player 1 and Player 4. The players then pass the balls diagnoally until the ball reaches an end. They then pass the ball straight to the person opposite them and continue the practice.

4 players in a square ( cones can be used )

players pass the ball clockwise around the 4 corners of the square.

After each pass the player follows the ball to the next corner and turns to return to receive the ball by the original corner when the ball comes round again.

All players should be moving before they receive the ball.
