Attackers need the skills to get free from defenders to receive the ball, while putting in as little effort as possible. Attackers need to use skills such as dummy runs and cuts across defenders, as well as ball placement effectively to avoid interception. They also need to be aware of spaces on court and the movement of the other players.
What's in the Session?
The key concept of this session is evading defenders, and this is practiced in various situations, getting progressively harder.
Then players use this in a 3 vs 3, attempting to move the ball through court without the ball being intercepted. Players are gradually added in with changed scenarios, to create greater options for decision making when finding space and passing the ball.
Finish off with a full or half-court game to get all your players working, encouraging them to use techniques from the session.

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.
