Hi Cathy.
You could try a medicine ball, being much heavier she has to push
the ball not throw it.
With a netball, put a target on the wall, not much above
shoulder height. She has to throw the ball at the target and catch it again.
Throw accurately to hit the target, throw hard enough to catch the ball at
shoulder or chest height. Start close to the wall and gradually move back as
her strength and accuracy increase. You could also put another target
above head height to practice a two-handed overhead pass and catch.
Encourage her to not throw the ball with her hand or flick it
with her wrist, but to get her hand, arm, shoulder, chest, hips, behind the
ball. If she’s right-handed, step into the pass with her left foot. These
improve the strength and the accuracy of the pass. Practice both single-handed
shoulder passes and two-handed chest passes.
Steve.

Subject: [netballcoaching] how to increase passing speed?
Hi
I have a
player who is on the small side, but has great court speed and agility.
Unfortunantly, her passing is letting her down.
Does
anyone have any drills or practice items she can do on her own at home to
increase her passing speed, accuracy and strength.
At the
moment she makes a fantastic intercept but many of her passes are lollypops and
end up being turned back over.
Thanks
Cathy
