Hi Ekeesha,
Personally, one of my favourite warm-up drills for netball is 3 across, of which I have attached below. This drill really gets your players moving, thinking tactically both in attack and defence. The drill is very intense, therefore I would limit the number of reps - for example, each person having 3 goes at attack and 3 at defence.
A few of my other favourite drills are 4 Corners or Interception.
These are all good group activities that ensure all players are involved.
I hope this helps.
3 Across
DESCRIPTION
Using the width of a third create 3 lines either side of the third (a minimum of 12 players is required for this drill to be effective) The first row of 3 (RED) will have one ball and work it to the other side (1, 2, 3) The ball is passed off to the next set of 3 who will do the same (4) HOWEVER the 3 players who were just attacking (RED) will now defend the next set of 3 who they just passed the ball too NOTE: The GREEN players who have just defended will go behind the BLUE and get ready for their turn to attack
