Netball - Attacking Movement - Change of Direction

Aim: To send a defender in the wrong direction.

Organisation: 3 players – 1 worker, 1 shadowing defender and 1 feeder. Cones can be used to signal a point to drive towards. Worker sprints in one direction and then suddenly drives off in another, leaving the defender committed to the direction of the first move.

Coaching Points:

Body weight over the feet, knees and ankles flexed
Head up, eyes on the ball and feeder
Sprint in chosen direction as if wanting to receive the ball
Suddenly plant the outside foot whilst bending the knee, turn head, shoulders and hips to face the new direction and drive off again
Take the pass at speed, jumping to control the landing which should be in an upright, balanced position

Progressions:

Vary angles and directions moved in
Increase pressure from defender
Apply technique to a 3v3 game or other small game situations with conditions “every ball must be passed to someone who has used a change of direction”
