DESCRIPTION

Set up a pitch using cones that is roughly the same size as a netball court (30m x 15m) and divide your players into two equal teams.

Players can run in all areas of the pitch but they are not allowed to run with the ball.

Players must try to get the ball to a player in the shooting circle for them to score a point.

COACHING POINTS

Look for good running movement from your players, a high level of accuracy in players' throws and safe-hand catches.

If it's not practical bringing your netball posts out onto the playing field you can use a hula hoop on the floor or an upturned bin instead.

Roll out race:

Players stand in teams behind their cone, with a ball each.

When the coach says 'Go' each player rolls their ball out diagonally, through the cones nearest their starting position.

After rolling out their own ball (along the ground) players must sprint out and collect the ball thrown by the other side.

As soon as they have collected the ball they must sprint back with the ball in hand past the starting cone.

The coach decides which player makes it back first and awards their team one point.

Ground Fielding

Rounders Hockey - Roll the ball:

Set up:

Split players into two teams (no more than 5v5 - set up several mini-games if necessary). Pitch marked out with 2 goals. Size will depend upon your players' ability and numbers in the group but 20m by 10m is a good starting point.

The Game:

This is an invasion game and the aim is to score a goal by rolling the ball through the oppositions goal.

Rules:

Roll only to score. Cannot move with the ball, defending team must be a metre away from the player with the ball.

If the ball hits an attacking players' foot in open play the ball is given to the defending team. If the ball hits your team's foot from an attempt at goal then a penalty is awarded. The penalty is taken from behind the half way line and only one player can defend it from the corner of the pitch. On the coach's call of "GO" the attacker rolls the ball and the defender can run across to defend the shot.
