Getting in front

I coach b grade senior netball, we range from 19 years old to 40. our biggest problem on game day is not getting in front for ball. they are continually running away from ball calling for it over top. for last 5plus weeks we have done every drill I can think of, involving change of direction, cut backs, holding space. they end up acing the drills. but when it gets to the game, all is forgotten again and running away from ball again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
