It's important that every player has the ability to demonstrate a variety of ways to get free from their defender to receive the ball. This makes them less predictable and more successful against their opponents.
That's why this plan encourages your players to mix up the way they lose their defender to receive the pass. Remember Netball is all about outwitting your opposition!
What's in the Session?
In this training we replicate the game as much as possible - putting your players under pressure to get free to receive the ball (i.e. overload the defence in practices). We also arm them with a toolbox of tricks:
Dodge, Straight Sprint, Roll Off, Change of Direction

A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
The new season is the perfect moment to set the expectation that every junior player tries every bib. Here is why rotation builds better netballers, how to organise it fairly, and what to say when a player or parent wants "their" position.
Most club teams defend one-on-one and nothing else. A well-drilled zone gives you a second option, and against the right opponent it is the difference between chasing and controlling.
