Hi Savannah,

The aim of this drill is to promote your players to move after passing the ball. Passing and moving in netball is key as it allows you to create:

Fluidity and continuity
Create space
Confuse the defence
Quick transitions
Break opposition defences
Create shooting opportunities

Hope this helps.
