Netball - Attacking Movement - The Half Turn

Aim: To outwit a defender by using a half turn.

Organisation: 3 players – 1 worker, 1 shadowing defender and 1 feeder. Cones can be used to signal a point to drive towards. Worker and defender stand next to each other. The worker makes a half-turn backwards, then pivots forward to the original position and drives off.

Coaching Points:

Start in a two-footed balanced position with knees flexed
Head up and eyes on the ball
Pivot backwards on the ball of the foot that is closest to the defender, taking your hips, shoulders and head with you
Quickly swing forwards again and sprint at an angle away from the defender
Regain eye contact with the feeder by turning the head early
Take the pass at speed, jumping to control the landing which should be in an upright, balanced position

Progressions:

Work both sides of the body
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 half turn”
Progress to a Full Turn
