Netball - Group Drills - Straight Line 1

Aim: To encourage good passing technique and timing of movement.

Organisation: 2 lines of players with a ball at the front of the line, one at each end of the centre third. 2 feeders placed inside the centre third diagonally apart from each other. Pass first to the closest feeder, sprint forwards and receive the ball again. Turn to face the next feeder and pass again. Sprint forwards and receive the ball back, pass ball on to the opposite line of players. Join the end of this line. Drill begins again.

Head and eyes up
Balanced and controlled landing, obeying the footwork rule
