Netball: Tag Warm Up

Set up 9 cones in a square in the middle of a third.

Two teams of 3 are lined up on the sidelines of the third, with each player holding the colour bib of their team in their hand.

They will play a game of noughts and crosses (tic tac toe).

Each player will run forward and place their bib on a cone. They first team to form a 3 bib line (diagonal, horizontal, vertical) of their teams colours wins a point.

Rule: Teams are not allowed to place their bibs in a line on the closest row as this makes it too easy.

If neither team has won from the initial run in then players can move their own team's bibs continually until one team wins.

If you have bigger teams, number your players and call 3 numbers out to start. They can then run back to the sideline to tag another player in to move a bib.

Cone out a square, 5m x 5m, with 3 attacker's and 2 defenders inside.

The attackers are just keeping score of how many passes they can make.

Cone out a square, 5m x 5m, with 3 attacker's and 1 defender inside.

One of the attackers starts with a ball.

The attacker's aim is to get the ball to all 4 corners in any order without being tagged with the ball by the defender. They start again if they are tagged.

They can only move the ball by passing, they can't run with it.

You can swap the defender out if they make it to all 4 corners or wait until they have managed it a few times to progress.

Split your players into 2 teams 4v4 with one ball to start and mark out a square grid (20x20) by using cones.

The white players (catchers) pass the ball between themselves to try and tag the black player (escaped prisoner) with the ball.

The black player has to stay inside the grid, as do the white players. White players can only move when they do not have the ball.

Once the black players gets tagged they switch with the white player who tagged them.
