This session is all about running (don't worry it's not a fitness session) as we aim to improve your players' spatial awareness and get them using runs as a way to create space on the court!
Sometimes running away from the ball can be just as useful as running towards it. Although this might sound strange to some of your players it's the key lesson in this session, as we teach players not to crowd and run to the ball, but instead make intelligent runs to stretch the opposition and improve their overall team game.
What's in the Session?
To develop your players' ability to use clearing runs to create space on the court and to get them working as a team with their on court movement this session gets your players to call for the ball, make runs into space and not always receive the pass (like in a game).
We then finish things off with a fun conditioned game, designed to get players to drag their marker around the court, making space for others on their team!

Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
