Intercept and covering defence, Interception Netball

Description

4 Attackers with one ball stand on four corners of the square, they are not allowed to move from their cones.

To start with include 3 defenders. These players must move around the area trying to intercept passes from the attackers by driving into the space between the passer and the receiver.

If a defender attempts to intercept the ball and fails and is out of position as a result one of the other defenders should spot the gap and endeavour to cover the space.

Coaching Points

Once the exercise is working and understood by all players you can introduce another 1 or 2 defenders to make moving the ball around the area a lot harder for the attackers.
