This week's session is all about spatial awareness, knowing who's around you - friend or foe - and knowing where the best option lies!
It might seem like a simple skill but teaching players to look and scan the court is a vital skill. If your players can't see what's going on around them then they're more likely to make a mistake! Being aware allows your players to make better tactical decisions, so they can anticipate quicker and pass the ball with accuracy.
What's in the Session?
To get your players scanning the court this session starts with three great warm ups, designed to get your players looking at what's going on all around them. Once your players are nicely warmed up we then progress the skill - teaching players to look one way while still focusing on what other movement is going on around them!

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.
