Use this session to get your players to lie in wait, like a venus fly trap, waiting for the perfect opportunity to snap shut, intercept and win back the ball for your side!
What's in the Session?
To get your players' feet moving, making sharp interceptions we open with a warm up designed to improve your players' reactions, getting them to time their drive and snatch the ball. We then get your players running hard, working on their acceleration off the mark to see if they're able to read the pass and intercept the ball.
Be sharp, read the pass and drive to make the interception!
What's so important about interceptions?
Winning the ball is a key skill for all netball players. Without the ball you can't win! Also, the less the opposition have the ball the less chance they have of scoring.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
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.
