Skill Drill Netball Activities for Year 11

Small-sided competitive activity where one attacker tries to lose a defender and receive passes from outside players within a confined square, developing spatial awareness, communication, deceptive movement and defensive positioning

Students practice give-and-go (one-two) passing patterns while running, using angled support players to develop timing and communication

Partners use iPads to photograph each other performing slow-motion digs, then analyse the images to discover and articulate the three key technical points of effective dig technique

Student-led fitness circuit targeting specific components (speed, agility, endurance) with team coaching and rotation through challenge stations

Partners practice dig technique in a throw-bounce-dig pattern against a wall, with progressive challenges including distance variation and movement addition to develop consistency and accuracy

Students rotate between playing and coaching roles, providing specific technical feedback to peers based on assigned observation focus areas

Small group game where 4 players around a circle pass to keep ball away from 1 defender in the middle who attempts to intercept

Standardised fitness test measuring leg power through maximum horizontal jump distance from standing position, with accurate measurement and recording

Teams work collaboratively to select captains, analyse player strengths, and strategically assign positions and batting order based on tactical understanding

Teams democratically choose three practice drills from their previous learning to prepare for competition, developing decision-making, initiative, and strategic thinking while refining skills
