Phase: Activities

Divide the class into 3 groups which consist of 8 players (4v4 - depending on class numbers). Set up a playing area with 4 hoops spaced around the outside of the area. Place one spot in the middle of the playing area as the starting spot. Players are split into two teams with one team on attack and one team on defence. One player from the attacking team must start on the spot and the others spread out. It is the job of the attackers to try and score by moving the ball around (player with ball may not move their feet) amongst their team and shooting the netball into one of the 4 hoops when the opportunity arises. If a point is scored or there is a turnover (intercept), the other team will start on attack from the middle spot.

Modifications

Create a bigger space to encourage more passes before a point is scored. Take away a number of defenders to make it easier for the attackers to pass. Add in a rule where a certain amount of passes must occur before a point is scored.
