Netball: Backline Stack

The session focuses on enhancing your players attacking skills, introducing and developing the 'reverse pivot' to lose and outwit your opponents.

• 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 

• WD and GD will set up to present an offer, however they will not be receiving the ball
• The WD will start ball side and pull wide, taking the GS and WA with them to leave space in the middle 
• The GD will pull wide the other way and take the GA away to leave space in the middle 
• The C will time their movement and drive hard down the middle to receive the ball from the GK
• By this time the WD and GD will have driven down court to offer for the next pass
• The WD will receive the ball from the C
• The GD will receive the ball from the WD

• The WA and GA will start in a staggered position, with one player (WA in this example) on the line and the other (GA) positioned off the line
• Both the WA and GA will offer for the centre pass
• WA will receives the ball from the C
• GA recognises that they did not receive first ball and will clear out to get down court into the circle
• Once the C has passed the ball to the WA they will then drive deep down court to receive the second phase ball from back from the WA
• The GS will hold their space until the C has received the ball and is ready to pass in - they will then drive onto the ball, driving towards the edge of the circle to leave space for the GA
• The GA should be able to receive the ball from the GS under 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
