Passing Passing Tool Box • Objective: To develop a ‘tool box’ of passes • No. of Players: In groups pairsArea: Goal 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: 1 ball per pair • Pairs stand facing each other in a line. Do 10 each way of the following passes • Chest (arms by side, hands make a W with thumb tips touching, ball in front of chest. Step forward with one foot as passing) • Side (ball is held up by the side of the head, normally the side that the person writes with. The opposite foot is forward. As the ball is drawn back the weight is shifted to the back foot and moved onto the front foot and the ball is thrown) • Overhead (ball is held overhead, feet one in front of the other. As ball is drawn back the weight is shifted to the back foot and moved onto the front foot and the ball is thrown). • Lob (movement like a chest past but ball is thrown up to come down to the other player) • Bounce (movement like a chest pass. Ball is bounced 2/3 of the way between the pair so that it is coming ‘up’ into the other player. • Once the players have their ‘tool box’ of passes get them to pass to their partner, the partner holds the ball where it is caught. Ask them what a good pass would be from this catching position. The idea is that they can save time by for example doing a side pass if they catch the ball by their head rather than bringing it down to the chest in some situations.
Attack The Loose Caboose Objective: To develop quickness and agility.No. of Players: In groups of 4Area: Goal 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: NilIn teams of 3 players link like a train with hands on the hips of the player in front. The other player is the loose caboose (C) and stands out the front of the train and using dodges tries to attach to the back of the train by touching the back player with their hands.The players making up the train are also dodging to keep the ‘loose caboose’ from attaching to the backWhen C makes a touch, C goes to the back and the front of the line is the new C. C
Attack Treasure Chest Objective: To develop the quickness and agility required to beat the defenders.No. of Players: In groups of 5Area: Goal 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: 5 cones and add a ball once players understand the activityS = Sailor, P = Pirates, Cone = TreasurePlace cones around line of goal circle. Sailors using a variety of attacking movements are trying to collect as much treasure as possible without being tagged by the defenders. If a Pirate tags a sailor = 1 point; if a sailor collects a treasure = 1 pointExtension: Add a ball. The sailors pass the ball and if placed on a treasure = 5 points. If pirates intercept a pass = 5 points
Green Grass Attack T Trolls and Billy Goats T Swamp T T BG BG BG BG Objective: For the Billy Goats (Attackers) to make their way to the 'Green Grass' without being tagged by the Trolls (Defenders) while also avoiding the 'swamp' No. of players: 8 - 12 players divided into 2 equal teams Area: 1/3 of a netball court Equipment: Chalk or tape and dots or cones. 2 sets of bibs Divide players into 2 even teams (Billy Goats V Trolls) and the netball third in half, width-wise Create a 5m wide Green Grass area with cones, dots or chalk, just over the transverse line on one side of your total playing area (e.g. if you are using an attacking third, your 'Green Grass' area will be just inside the centre third) Create a swamp by marking an area with chalk or dots anywhere in the half nearest the Green Grass area Billy Goats (BG) start in one half of the third. The aim is for all of them to get to the Green Grass area on the other side of the Trolls (T) without being tagged If Billy Goats step in the swamp by mistake, they are out 1 point is scored for each Billy Goat that gets to the Green Grass Swap roles and allow each team 4 turns in each role before adding up their total scores. The team with the most points wins Ext: Give the Billy Goats a ball which they must get through to the Green Grass area by passing between themselves. The Trolls will then attempt to intercept/create a turnover (i.e. no 'touch' rule exists in this instance but all netball rules apply)
Body Balance Here there and everywhere Objective: To develop good body balance.No. of Players: Whole groupArea: Goal 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: NilPlayers spread out in the third. On the instructions of the Coach the players move as follows: Here - players run towards the coach There - players run where the coach indicates Everywhere - players run anywhere they like, dodging other players Nowhere - players jog on the spot Stop - players must stop in a stable balanced position
Body Balance Tiger Tiger Objective: To develop an awareness of a stable balanced position.No. of Players: 6 - 12 players ( 2-3 players to be W = tigers and remaining players are monkeys = P)Area: One 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: Nil Hold a roaring competition to see who is going to be Tiger(s) W. The Tigers stand facing away from the players at the edge of the area. The remaining players become noisy monkeys who will leap about plucking "fruit" from the trees and landing balanced.The Tigers roar and quickly turn around. The Monkeys must remain still in a stabled balanced position. The Tigers assess all the Monkeys and any Monkey that they see moving or isn't balanced e.g. feet too close they say the reason and then get to "eat" the Monkey, the monkey then joins the Tigers.The activity then restarts
Body Balance Objective: To practise catching and landing balanced.No. of Players: In Pairs Area: One 1/3 of the netball courtEquipment: Nil In pairs player A holds ball in outstretched hands. Player B runs, collects ball and lands balanced. When go that sorted player B runs to catch a pass thrown by player A and lands balanced. A B A B
Body Balance Steady as you go Objective: To develop the ability to move and land while maintaining balance.No. of Players: Whole group Area: A 1/2 of the netball courtEquipment: 1 ballDivide the group in half and set up as per diagram. W1 starts with the ball and passes to W2 as they run forward. W1 then runs forward to work with W2. W2 can choose to pass to W1 or back to W3 or W4. If W3 or W4 receive the pass they assess who is the best passing option and pass them the ball. Once W1 or W2 is close enough to pass the ball to either of W5 or W6 they can and then run to the back of that line. W5 and W6 pass the ball between themselves and W7 and W8 and continue as above.When players catch the ball they focus on landing balanced and making a good passing choice.Extension: Add a defending player in the middle who looks to intercept passes or fill space
Body Balance Swerving Objective: To develop the ability to move around court without contacting other players.No. of Players: Whole group Area: A 1/2 of the netball courtEquipment: NilPlayers spread out in a line. Back player moves forward in and out of players using forward steps and sidesteps without contacting until they reach the front of the line. Continue until all have had a turn.
Defending • Defence skills: • Weight on balls of feet ready to move in any direction • Use quick short stops • Feet no wider than should width apart • Head up and use wide vision • Arms relaxed but ready to reach for the ball • Activities • Shadow marking. Pairs stand side by side. Player A moves with sudden movements 4-6 steps in any direction. Player B tries to keep as close as possible. On ‘whistle’, Player B should be close enough to tag player A. • Groups of 4. Player A passes to player B who passes to player C. Player D tries to intercept the pass within 5 attempts.
Defending A C B Objective: To learn defending the player with the ball and defending space No. of players: in 3’s Area: 1/3 of court Equipment: ball per 3 Players A and B pass the ball between them without moving. Player C defends the player with the ball. Must be .9 of a metre back. Players A and B work out a pass according to the defence (i.e. lob, bounce etc…).

Movement Movement Tool Box • Objective: To learn different movements to get away from defender.No. of Players: In 3’sArea: A 1/3 of the netball court or smallerEquipment: 1 ball per 3Teach and then try each of these movement techniques. Within the groups of 3 there is a passer A, an attack player B and a defender C. When B has tried each of the techniques switch around. • Straight run. The ball is faster than the player so generally if the attacking player sets off on a straight run and the passer passes in front A will get the ball. • Dodge. Player B faces forward evenly balanced on the balls of their feet. Dip the right knee (not the torso) and spring back strongly the other way. • Roll. Player B takes a step to the right and immediately pivots 180 degrees away from the defender to face the other way and move to take the pass. If they whip their head around once they have landed the first foot it will help bring the body around. A C B

Body Circle - the ball is circled around the waist - change direction Body Circle Challenge - coach calls out the body part to be circled eg head, ankles, hips, knees, waist Figure 8's - the players stand with legs wide and create a figure 8 by taking the ball around a leg, through the middle and around the other leg. Change direction Figure 8 Challenge - players all line up on a line and then while walking continue to make figure 8's around their legs. Increase the tempo to jogging. Turn and Catch - ball is thrown into the air and the player turns 180, and then catches the ball. Then try turning 360. Stand Up - player sits on the ground and tosses the ball into the air.

Brain Gym Players line up evenly on 3 points of the triangle Red passes to her right (yellow) and runs to the back of the team on her left (blue) The yellow player then passes to her right (blue) and runs to the back of the team on her left (red) etc… When they’ve got the hang of it switch directions. Pass to the left, run to the right
Brain Gym Players are divided into 4 groups and stand on the points of a square. The red players at the front of the line start with the ball. The blue players at the front of the line move to the centre and take a pass from the red player on their right hand side. They pass to the blue player in front of them then keep running forward and join the back that line. The front red players then move to the middle, take a pass from the blue player on their right, pass to the red player in front of them and run to the back of that line. It pays to walk this through first.
Brain Gym X X • 2 players start as the catchers (red) the rest of the players are divided into to lines facing the catchers. Green players start with 1 ball each. • Green passes to red • Green moves forward to X • Red passes to green and they pass back to red • Green players then switch to the other X (facing the other red catcher) • Red passes to Green and they pass back to Red • Red player then does a little pop pass, Green moves forward to catch it and takes Red’s spot. Red runs to the back of the line and Greens become the catchers. • Start again • Walking through is a good idea. It is important that the players time their passes and switching.
Brain Gym • In and Out. An oldie but a goodie! • Blue starts with the ball passes to yellow and moves into the centre of the circle as yellow passes to green and moves to take blues spot. The player in the middle then passes to the next player in the circle and it continues. • Extension • Change direction • Have to players in the centre of the circle back to back both passing and moving
Brain Gym 1 2 3 4 • Moving on to the ball into space to take a pass. • Players are dived into 4 teams and line up behind a point on a square. Player 1 starts ½ way along the top edge of the square. • She passes to ½ way along the next side of the square and follows her pass to join the back of the line that player 2 came from. Player 2 runs into the space to take the catch and passes it to the next line on the square (passes follow the thin arrows).
