Aim: To encourage players to create and use space, implementing the through court principles
Set up: Two even teams, Whole Netball court, 1ball, bibs, cones
How to play:
• Mark off two end zones.
• The game starts with a line-out at halfway.
• The team that wins the line-out must then spread out and pass the ball down the court, scoring by touching the ball down in the end zone.
• After a try is scored, the game re-starts with a line-out at halfway.
• If there is a turnover, play continues with the opposing team in possession of the ball.
• Encourage players to engage the principles of court balance during the game, e.g., when a player has passed the ball, they take off quickly to provide a square passing option for the receiver – pass and drive left or right until
level with the passer.
• Now take the game to a full-court situation from a backline throw-in. Encourage players to balance the court, pass and support.
