Netball - Group Drills - Straight Line 2

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 opposite each other. Pass to the feeder on your left, one line of players drives through the middle of the area to receive a pass from the same feeder.

The other line of players drive behind and round the opposite feeder to receive a pass from the feeder they initially threw to. Players return the ball to the next worker and rejoin the back of this queue.

Coaching Points:

Ball travels to the space in front of the moving player so she can drive on to it
Head and eyes up
Balanced and controlled landing, obeying the footwork rule
