This week's session is one for your goal scorers, your GA and GS, as we work on improving attacking movement in the circle - getting players to lose their markers and move to the post to cut down the distance for the shot!
The main philosophy for this session is to get your shooters to make life easy for themselves - when moving to lose their marker and receive the pass players should be thinking "How can I use my lead run to get closer to the post?" - making the shot as easy as possible.
What's in the session?
To improve lead running we start with a speed and agility pairs shooting exercise - designed to get your players warm while also giving them plenty of shooting practice. From this we then add defenders into the circle and see how effective your shooters are at making space (and how good your defenders are at cutting out the pass!)

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.
