I'm a defender and find it really difficult to get into a space when it's a backline pass, any tips??
Hi Elysia,
The key is to try shake off your marker and not stand still. You can use techniques such as feinting (dropping your shoulder one way but then sprinting the other), and also develop your speed so you can get an extra yard on the opposition.
We have plenty of drills here at Sportplan on getting free and movement - simply search our Netball drills under the `getting free` category to give you ideas. I`ve also got one here for you to get started in your next training session - try it out with your coach and your team-mates!
Hope that helps!

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
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.
