Netball: Christmas tree warm-up

Develop your players footwork in order to land correctly, whilst also looking at the skill of turning in the air to shut out the defender.

Go back to basics and develop your team?s footwork, helping them to land effectively and make the next pass quickly!

Develop your player's ability to execute quick and efficient footwork, not only when receiving the ball, but also when creating and penetrating space.

Develop your player's footwork and movement skills in order to successfully get free from the defence and maintain possession.

• 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. 

One player always passes the ball straight and the other always passes the ball diagonally.

Both players are catching and throwing the ball with one hand and at shoulder height.

Whilst passing the ball to each other, three players run in a line across the width of court.

Players number themselves 1, 2 and 3 and pass in the following pattern:

1 passes to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 1...

Split your players into 4s or more with 2 balls. Both blue players start with a ball.

1. The blue players both throw the ball to the Red players who in turn return the ball.
   
   
2. After returning the ball the red players swap places.
   
   
3. Repeat once more.

Time the cross-over moves so that players receive on the move.
