Netball: Ball Collection - Reflex test

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

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Both players move in the same direction with the feeder moving backwards.

The feeder must play the ball to any side of the receiving player, within arm's reach, for them to react to, collect and pass back as quickly as possible.

Players progress like this from one side of the court to the other, taking short fast steps, staying up on the balls of their feet.

COACHING POINTS

Once players reach the back line they swap roles and repeat the drill in the opposite direction.

PROGRESSION

To make the drill more challenging for the receiving player the feeder should try to mask where they're going to pass the ball, occasionally faking to keep their partner on their toes.

Carrying Cone Warm Up:

Split your players into two equal teams and put down an equal number of cones in each final third.
The two teams compete against one another, trying to take cones/bibs from their opponents area and place them behind their line.

Numbers Game:

When the teacher calls out a series of players' numbers they should run onto the court.

The players' whose numbers have just been called then play using normal netball rules until a goal is scored.

Warm ups

10 passes to score:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

Small games

10 Balls Anywhere:

Have the players get into pairs.

One player starts with the ball and drops, places or throws the ball in random places around a semi circular area.

The other player in the pair stands around a metre opposite keeping a close eye on the ball. They need to react as quickly as possible to gather the ball either before it bounces or after only 1 bounce.

After 10, have the players swap over so that the passer is now reacting to the ball.
