though an answer to this question might vary from
person to person, it is simply not fair

or have been regular at it would know that this
is not how the things at Netball function. One
really needs to be consistent at the game to

that it includes. When talking about the tactic
that needs most attention is shooting, which is
also the reason why being regular at the netball
drills is extremely essential. Here are the a
few netball attacking drills that will help you

1. Lacing Drill A successful attacker is the
one who knows exactly how to put the opponent in
a difficult situation and this is the particular
drill that will help you get some knowledge on
how you should be performing in the game.
Further, this is the right drill that will teach
you how to change the pace quickly and perform
rather fancy feet work to dazzle the person in
front of you
For practice you should start by creating a line
of cones which should be around 5 feet from one
another, allowing the players to move properly.
When the player begins the circuit, weaving into
the cones, he should always make use of his
outside foot to push off. Upon reaching the end
of the cone line, the players should turn and
complete another set of cone weaving. The idea
behind this constant weaving of cones is to make
everyone familiar with the necessary feet
movements. Everything should be monitored using a
stop watch and players should be given
instructions on the areas that need improvements.

1. 180 turn You will need 3 players to perform
   this attack drill and the presence of the cones
   as well. The cones, once again, will be used to
   point toward the desired direction. During this
   netball attacking drill the defender and the
   worker will have to stand one next to the other,
   their position starting from behind the feeder
   and to his side. The worker, instead of
   sprinting forward, will perform a half-turn
   backward to stop and block the defender, and then
   will do a pivot to get back forward and sprint
   away. Since this is the particular attack drill
   that will improve the speed, reaction time, and
   agility of the players it is most important for
   the coaches to train the players to get the best
   results during the game.
2. Running Evasions This is the drill where three
   players are involvers who will start in a
   straight line, moving forward. The wing attack
   player will start by running one way, just to
   stop abruptly during his performance in order to
   change direction, just to continue running and
   changing direction again for one second, before
   meeting the pass. The same player will also
   start by running one way, stopping to change his
   direction and then continuing till he finally
   reaches the space for meeting the pass. Each time
   the attacker prepares his move, he will have to
   avoid being predictable, constantly changing his
   tactics, in order to wrong foot the marker.
