Netball: Circle Movement

I am currently coaching a senior college team and I have found Sportplan...

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Shooting third, 4+ players, 2+balls, 3+ cones.

Space cones out around the shooting circle. The more cones, the more work.

Two working players are inside the circle, two passers are outside of the circle area.

Players drive out and choose a cone to move around. Passer delivers ball to working player near hoop. Player takes a shot.

Working player passess out and moves around another cone. The player is finished when they have moved around all cones.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage players to turn sideways onto the ball when moving to the post i.e not to turn their back to the ball.

Delivering ball to shooters:

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Delivering the ball midcourt through to the circle edge/shooters

Set up:

Half court, two balls, 5+ players

1 player standing on base line, another player with the ball standing around the third line.

Description:

Note: The video shows the drill being played out with 2 groups of players, you could just focus on one group i.e. 1 line, 1 V driver. The description is based on one group.

Player on base line near shooting post, V drives towards court edge and receives a pass from the player in the line with the ball.

Player who passes the ball drives directly to the circle edge in a straight line and receives a pass from the player who has driven out on the V.

Player who had initially drove out now drives into a position under the hoop to receive a pass from their player and put a shot up.

Shooting

3 Point Shooting:

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.

Shooting

Circle Shots:

Shooter sprints out to circle edge and, on return, receives a pass.
Shooter must balance, shoot, rebound then return ball to player 1. She continues until 5 goals have been scored - running to a different cone each time, then swap with the feeder. Vary the place at which the feeder stands.
Then introduce a defender.

Small games

Centre Deep:

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
