Staying balanced is essential in Netball, and you need your players to be in control when receiving the ball. If they cannot master the footwork rule, then it's game over.
That's why in this plan, you will be coaching your players the 1, 2 landing pattern. This will improve your player's coordination when they first receive a pass, then have the control to seek out their team-mates accurately.
By understanding the footwork rule to a high standard at a young age, it'll help your players to progress onto more advanced skills. Coaching this session will get your players to become more balanced and controlled and by improving these skills, your team will be able to play top-class Netball!
