Session 2 Point a square

Aim: To develop the principles of centre pass - attack, receiving the ball close and central on the transverse line
Set up: 9-12 players, half a Netball Court, 1 ball, 4 cones or chalk, bibs
How to play
• Use cones or chalk to mark out a square at the transverse line as per diagram.
• Three players wear bibs as they defend the centre pass. Other players set up as detailed in the diagram.
• The objective is for the attackers to receive the ball in the square, close and central.
• The attackers work together to create space and only one attacking player crosses the line to receive the first pass while the other player cuts back to receive the second pass.
• If the centre pass is caught in the square, the attacking team scores one point. If it is caught outside the square, it receives no points.
• How many points can the attacking team score from five centre passes?
• Swap roles.
• Add a GS and GK and see if the team can score a point for receiving the Centre pass in the square and then pass the ball through to the goal circle and score a goal.
