Netball: 10 passes before shooting

Build upon your players shooting technique and movement inside and outside the circle. Focus on getting your players to work together as a tight attacking unit to maximise chances on goal.

The circle is a shooters domain, but it's got to get there in the first place. Discover the value of mid-court players when playing in the circle.

A fundamental aspect of any netball game!! Feeding your shooting circle well could ultimately lead to success.

One player, the feeder, starts on the edge of the circle. The other player, the worker (number 1 in the diagram) runs around one of the cones set out on the edge of the shooting circle, then drives back into the circle to receive the ball before making the shot.

Shooter collects the successful shot or rebound, passes back out to the feeder and repeats with an alternative cone.

Focus on shot techniques (as shown in video).

Player take a shot from the spot and can not progress to the next one until shot is successful.

Each time you miss a shot start at the beginning again.

1. White player 1 throws to Blue player 1, then runs quickly into circle and receives ball back.
   
   
2. White player 1 then shoots, collects the ball, and passes to Red player 1, before joining the back of the Red player's line.
   
   
3. Red player 1 does the same from the other side and the drill continues.

Blue player 1 dodges to receive from blue 2. The player inside the circle then returns the pass and dodges again.

Before being allowed to make the shot the circle player must receive 5 passes.

After 5 passes the defender takes the rebound, moves out of the circle and becomes the feeder so all 3 players rotate.
