Netball: Basketball Steal

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

Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Section off half of one of the thirds for 5 players, each with a ball. Each player bounces the ball whilst walking around the area. At the same time they try to knock other player's balls away.

The last player with a ball wins.

COACHING POINTS

Player's should keep their heads up to try and steal/ tap away others balls.

This encourages players to be aware of other players around them, whilst working on controlling their ball without looking at it. This is important in a game because being able to receive a ball without directly looking at is allows players to prescan the court and be ready for the next phase of the game.

By getting your players to steal the other player's balls you encourage a ball hungry attitude and a competitive nature to go and win the ball.

RELATED PLANS...

Force the Intercept

Win the ball back with clever defending. Develop your players defensive understanding of closing down the space and forcing errors to create the intercept.

OFTEN USED WITH...

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.

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.

Ball Collection - Reflex test:

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.
