Attacking in Netball
When
attacking in Netball we need to create
space to be successful. We create space by:
•
Changing speed
•
Changing direction
•
Driving (sprint) into the space
Passing and Receiving the Ball
Shoulder Pass
•Opposite foot to throwing hand
•Bring ball back to shoulder
•Fingers spread
•Transfer weight as you bring the
throwing arm through
•Always the ball to the space in
front of the player you are
sending it to.
Chest Pass
•Stand front on with the ball in
two hands at chest height with
elbows down (chicken wings)
•Spread fingers around ball (W
shape)
•
Step forward and transfer weight
as you release the ball
•Flick your wrists and fingers as
you release the ball

Defending in Netball
Even if you are playing in an attacking position you still have to defend
any time your team is not in possession of the ball. At the start of a
game, make sure you know which player you are responsible for
marking.
Tips for defending:
•Be netball ready! On your toes, knees slightly bent ready to catch
or intercept the ball.
•Keep close to our opponent
•Make sure you are always ball side
•Mark in a sideways stance so you can see the player and the ball
•Keep close to you opponent!
