Warm Up Netball Activities for Year 4

A sustained endurance run where students learn pacing strategies and build cardiovascular fitness over 3 minutes of continuous movement

Dynamic warm-up game where students pass and follow in a circle formation

Partner chase game where defenders practice staying close to moving attackers

Partner-based catching progression using frisbees or balls, developing from two-handed 'pancake' catches to one-handed catches to reaction catches. Drops result in immediate star jump penalties to maintain concentration.

Dynamic warm-up game where catchers form chains that split when reaching 4 people, developing agility, reaction time and teamwork

Dynamic tag game where teams of 3 passers try to keep the ball away from 2 taggers through quick passing and movement

Dynamic warm-up game where teams compete to flip cones while developing spatial awareness and direction changes

A progressive warm-up combining movement, ball handling, and partner interaction to prepare for ball sports

Energising warm-up using different movement patterns through specific court areas

Fast-paced warm-up where students jog continuously and respond to number commands with specific actions (1=floor touch, 2=jump, 3=both hands floor)

Multi-directional movement circuit preparing students for netball-specific actions and positions

Progressive passing and movement warm-up that prepares students for netball activities

A progressive warm-up combining dynamic movements with chest passing skill revision

High-energy warm-up where students jog continuously and respond to number calls by performing specific actions, with opportunities for student creativity

Students listen for colour calls and react quickly by running to the corresponding corner cone

Dynamic tag game where taggers use frisbees to tag opponents below the waist. Tagged players freeze with arms wide and can be freed by teammates crawling through their legs.

Dynamic warm-up where students explore different movement speeds by changing 'gears' from slow walking to running, developing pace control and spatial awareness

Fast-paced reaction game where students compete to grab a ball when the correct command is called

Quick-reaction warm-up where students run to correct court areas based on netball positions called out

Progressive partner activity combining passing technique, dribbling with movement, and decision-making under light defensive pressure

Full game experience with regular position rotations to develop understanding of different roles and responsibilities

Partner-based chest passing with increasing movement and challenge

Dynamic warm-up game where students manipulate different equipment while following Simon Says commands to develop control and listening skills

Dynamic movement activity developing spatial awareness through multi-directional movement in progressively smaller spaces
