Netball: Backline Pass Progression

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...

Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

5+ players, 1 ball, half court space.

1. One player sets up near baseline as the feeder with the ball.

2. All other players (workers) set up near third line behinf eachother.

3. Workers drive forward and receive a pass from the feeder, they pass back, peel to the right and join the back of the line.

Progression 1: Players alternate the side they peel out to.

Progression 2: Working players peel out as they were but then cut back into the midline to receive another pass. Worker passes back to the feeder.

Progression 3: Two workers drive out together. One will get a pass from the feeder. They will then peel out and drive towards the midline to recieve a long pass.

Progression 4: As with progression 3 but with one defender in the mix.

Progression 5: Backline pass. One worker to fake a drive. Another to pop out to recive a pass from feeder at backline. Another worker to drive foward and recieve pass to the finish with the first fake driver recieving a pass over the halfway line.

COACHING POINTS

You may choose to set players up in positions for the final progression e.g. GK backline, GD first drive, WD second driver, C as third driver.

Players need to keep driving strong on to the ball throughout all progressions.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Backline Stack:

WD and GD will start in a stacked position, one behind the other with the WD in front
The C will start just inside the centre third to allow the WD and GD space
Both players will split and go in opposite directions to make an offer for the ball
The WD is likely to receive the ball
The GD will then change direction and drive down court to offer for the next ball from the WD
The C will receive the ball from the GD - they must ensure they time their movement correctly

Set Plays

Circle Edge Set-Up:

WD will set up ball side on the circle edge
GD will set up away from the WD to give them space and to balance the court - they should try to be ball side also
C will start back just inside the centre third, this will allow the WD and GD space
The GK will pass the ball to the WD (holding ball side)
The GD will then drive to receive the second ball from the WD
C will then make a move to receive the ball from the GD

Set Plays

GK Backline Set Play:

GK backline throw in

GK backline passes to â WD on circle edge pocket â GK drives up for a square pass from WD â GD receives pass from GK in centre third â C receives a straight pass â GA straight pass â WA straight pass into the goal third â GS straight pass top of circle â WA circle edge pocket â pass into GA to put up shot.

Set Plays

Off the Post:

The WA will set up ball side on the side of the circle
The C will set up ball side on the top of the circle
The GA will set up ball side in the circle - this will keep the GD out of play
The GS will fake the ball to the WA, this will transfer the GK's body weight that way and leave room for the GS
The GS will then pass the ball against the post and jump back onto court to receive the ball
The GS will put up the shot
