This session is designed with junior and senior players in mind; looking at your players' basic footwork and then progressing the skill by working on the mid-air turn to shut out defenders and allow the quick forward pass.
Footwork is one of the key components of netball. By getting your players to land on their outside foot you'll be providing a great grounding for future development, as well as helping them to avoid injuries further down the line.
To establish the "land 1-2, release" step, and to teach your players the value of this technique in a competitive situation, this session gets your players working in pairs and threes to give them the maximum amount of ball-time possible - before bringing it all together with a final full-court game.
Don't be caught off balance - try this footwork and positive-passing session with your team tonight!
Extra Session Notes:
This session also works on your players' core netball skills including passing, catching and agility, with the main focus on footwork and the correct landing technique. Players can develop these skills through passive and competitive situations, with progressions for you more able players and conditions to develop your less able players.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
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.
