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

No more 50/50 toss-ups. When simultaneous infringements occur, possession now goes to the team that last had the ball. Here's what it means for your coaching.
Train your defenders to win clean turnovers, not just disrupt. The difference between good defenders and great ones is taking the ball, not just touching it.
Netball is experiencing unprecedented growth, with record viewership, evolving rules, and professional leagues expanding worldwide. Here's what 2026 brings for our sport.
