This session develops your players' running, passing and talking - teaching them to time their runs to meet the pass, call when they're ready to receive and move, on and off the ball.
What's in the Session?
To help players practice timing runs and working on being more vocal on the court we start with a couple of unopposed pass and move drills. Once practised these skills will be applied in a game situation, with players attempting to support their pass, as before, only this time under pressure.
Don't let your team play slow and restricted netball! Move to find space and support the pass, don't let your netball be stuck in the past!
The origins of Netball
Netball's come a long way from since the 1890s when it was played on London lawns and called 'Net ball'. Gone too are the days of long dresses and restricted movement, nowadays netball's a fast-paced and physically demanding sport!
You can find out more about the origins of netball here (opens in a new tab).

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.
