13th Session

I arrived 20 minutes before i start the session, managed to get all the cones set out and the balls ready. The girls arrived and there were only 4 of them that turned up. We got straight onto a quick little warm up making sure all the muscles were stretched. I then moved onto a pass catch and run exercise. There were 2 cones placed about 5 meters from each other, another 2 girls arrived so we had 6 all together now. Dividing them up into 3's they each had to stand behind the 2 set cones (they were the workers). There was another cone placed opposite the middle of them 2 cones which ( i) the feeder stood to feed the ball. The workers 1 by 1 they threw me the ball they ran into the middle and then once received the ball they passed it to the next person standing at the other cone, the runner then joins the opposite queue and so forth. Once this exercise got sorted the feeder made it harder for the workers by adding different passes, such as high passes, bounce passes etc. To make everyone aware of being able to confidently pass the ball, everyone was given a chance at being the feeder. (this particular drill took half an hour of the session). Game exercise was then taken place, where 4 girls had to run off to their dinner, so we were left with 2 girls. This meant i had to just do a little game with them 2 girls against myself. But to make it easier for them as soon as i got a tip of the ball or catch, they had to take it back to the start and so on. 15 minutes into the game the other 4 girls returned, so we did a 3 vs 3 game for the rest of the session. I just watched the girls play and assessed where they were going wrong etc. Making them aware of what they were doing right and wrong. 2 minutes at the end of the session just did a little cool down with some light jogging.

Ball control

When a player receives a pass they have to act quickly, but they are not allowed to run with the ball or dribble it. A player has to be standing before they throw the ball - it is illegal to chuck the ball when you're kneeling down or sprawled on the floor of the court.
To make sure the game stays pacy and competitive there's the three second rule. This means players have only three seconds between catching the ball and making a pass. (BBC sport, Netball)
