      • Six has to react on the attack.
      • When the attack/rally is over, the trainer plays a freeball and the point is played out again.

  • instead of catching:attack


  • Playmaker and attacker must score against a team setup.
  • Trainer throws ball to, setup goes to attacker (train all positions).
  • Attacker must score at least 5 points against the team.
  • An appropriate ball that the sv in the team can catch or set-up is not a score.
  • Scoring is direct point or a pass that playmaker cannot catch.
  • After 5 points change attacker.

First 1 for 1:

  • Player has a hoop
  • Trainer throws the ball over the net, player has hoop in his hands and has to make sure the ball goes through the hoop.
  • Player passes the hoop to the next player in line.
  • Player puts ball in trainer's box


Next step:

  • Divide the group on two halves of the field
  • Player 1 serves the ball over the net
  • Player 2 makes sure the ball goes through the hoop
  • Player 1 joins the back at the hoop catchers
  • Player 2 passes on the hoop and takes the ball to serve
  • 3 players at the net with a ball.
  • The rest of the players start at the first post.
  • The first ball is thrown short, second ball long and third ball short.
  • The player passes the ball back and moves sideways to the next one.


Important that players move on the front feet and get ready to pass the ball.

Nice to start the training with. Players with ball throw the ball over the net at the passer. Everyone runs after the ball.

  • Ball handler becomes passer
  • Passer becomes receiver
  • Offender starts throwing
  • If there are more players, have them block on the other side of the net.
  • Learning the defense system
  • 1 side with 4: leave 1st time (= at net / 3M line)
  • Surplus on the other side.
  • Red/ blue throws the ball in nr PASPLEK.
  • Then the ball is passed to pos 2 or 3.
  • This player catches the ball and then makes an attacking run and throws the ball over.
  • Attacker who doesn't get the ball does AP + sliding dive to cart and takes new ball.
  • Side with 4 does the right moves.
  • Catch the ball --> position 1 runs in puts BH pass to position 4 --> plays over
  • 5 balls and turn over
drawing System defense 4-4 - Netball
  • Per 2: 10x
  • White hits the ball = sign that blue may move backwards
  • White touches the ball --> blue plays the ball to the middle of the front (white moves to the middle of the field after the touch)
  • Blue does sliding dive to front
  • On 3:
  • Same as above but with sliding dive outside the box --> move on
