What you can try, is playing a game of half court where players are only allowed to Bounce Pass. This teaches them that they have to drive forward in front of the defender to get the ball. Hopefully they will see that it is much easier to get the ball this way no matter what type of pass they are recieving, and they will drive forward in front of the defender in the game. There are longer ways to lead up to this but sounds like you are short on time. :)

 

Hope this helps!

Hi michelle I need some DESPERATE help please   I have a senior womens team and we are constantly relying on lobs to get the ball through the court inside of cut and drives.   Do you have some great save my bacon drills that I can work with them on we have a training tonight for a major game tomorrow and this team will clean us up if we dont drive out for the ball.   So if you have anything that can help me I would be MOST greatful, specifically around driving, drawing and and driving again all through court.    Down court, especially in transition after a turn over   all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.   We start at 6.00pm tonight so maybe 4.00pm your time??   THANKS SO MUCH Lisa Panapa Whanau Muriwai, Gisborne   --- On Thu, 26/3/09, Michelle Roberts <mickey@bigpond. net.au> wrote: From: Michelle Roberts <mickey@bigpond. net.au> Subject: RE: [netballcoaching] attacking drills To: netballcoaching@ yahoogroups. com Received: Thursday, 26 March, 2009, 12:56 AM One that I have done that gives them a bit of an idea on how to ‘break through’ and forward is:   Have two players/posts standing a couple of metres apart along the transverse lines Each hold a ribbon loosely between them – so it stretches along the transverse line Players have to break through the ribbon to get the pass over the line.   This gives them a good visual reference on how to get through, as players often go as far as the defence, but no further.    Another one that I came up with for my daughter’s team is to get them lined up on the transverse lines and ask them to make a ‘Y’ (you know, a YMCA one) and then bring it down to show them the angles they’re allowed to run – then get them to practice running those angles.  Sounds a little odd, but they really picked it up – so it does work for that age group.   AND, anther one as a warm up drill is to have the players jogging around in the centre third, and the person with the ball has to call out the name of a player.  That player has to run straight to the person with the ball to get a pass (as if they were running to touch them on the nose).  This is a good one to teach them that forward isn’t always forward down the court, but towards the player with the ball.     MICHELLE ROBERTS President Runaways Netball Club Find out what's happening here: www.runaways. brightsun. com.au/forum T: 07) 49265803 M: 0408 154 685 E: president@runaways. brightsun. com.au W: www.runaways. brightsun. com.au         From: netballcoaching@ yahoogroups. com [mailto:netballcoac hing@yahoogroups .com] On Behalf Of marniemaher Sent: Wednesday, 25 March 2009 8:39 PM To: netballcoaching@ yahoogroups. com Subject: [netballcoaching] attacking drills   Hi, I am a defensive player who coahes an under 11 team.
