Small Sided Games

Netball Positions Proforma

Netball Positions

• GS - Goal Shooter - Can move anywhere within the attacking third of the court, but cannot leave it.
• 
  
• GA - Goal Attack - Can move anywhere within the attacking third and the centre third of the court.
• 
  
• WA- Wing Attack - Can move within the attacking third and centre third, with the exception of the shooting circle.
• 
  
• C - Centre - Can move anywhere across the court, apart from either of the shooting circles.
• 
  
• WD - Wing Defence - Can move within the centre third and the defensive third, with the exception of the shooting circle.
• GD - Goal Defence - Can move anywhere within the attacking third and the centre third of the court.
• 
  
• GK - Goal Keeper - Can move anywhere within the defensive third of the court, but cannot leave it.

Lesson progression - Lesson 5

Netball

Now students have developed a greater sense of action rules, students may develop positioning within netball. Providing them the following pro forma, allow teams to ascertain themselves who will best fit each role.
Secondly ask students through guided questioning what offensive and defensive strategies they will attempt to implement, from a number of options on the pro forma sheet.

Warm Up
Students are to assemble in their positioning according to the positions outlined in the diagram above and are to alternate taking turns playing a game of keep-away in compliance with all netball rules bar the scoring. Stress the need to see a variety of methods used to maintain possession and provide reminders to using mobility and deception. For defensive ask students to either pick a zonal or man on man type defense and attempt to stick with it until you indiate it is perhaps time to change to another strategy.

Lesson Progression 1 - Korfball - Game Play

Netball

Korfball

Warm up
Small invasion game where students are asked to play a game of rob the nest, introducing them to the concept of invasion games. Divided into two teams, students are to collect as many bean bags from their oppositions nest to place in their own. Using a number of different transport strategies, such as walking, running and eventually running and passing, time these activities to facilitate adequate warm up.

A mixed gender sport, very similar to Netball in which members attempt to score in the basket at the end of the court as in netball. However contest for the ball is limited to opposition pairings of the same gender and shooting from anywhere on the court. There are 2 halves and 2 goal zones on the court. the advantage for teaching this within a netball unit, is that it has slightly easier gameplay in terms of "zones" and endorses an even pairing of opposition players.

Court

Game Play

As there is only two halves in Korfball (as opposed to thirds in netball), Korfball is likely easier for those less familiar with the zonal invasion games to comprehend. Begin by playing a modified game of 8 on 8, allowing several steps with possession, but endorsing that each team member handles the ball prior to an attempt at goal being made. To alleviate the difficult of scoring, place a hoop on the ground.

Progressions

- Divide teams into forwards and backs, introducing the two halves" with the centre line.

- Use netball goal

Guided Questioning

- Ask students areas in which they would like to develop their skills

- Use small sided games to address the areas they feel they need improvement. From player positioning, team communication and skill competency will likely be areas they seek improvement.

Netball - Lesson Progression 4

 Netball

Folowing on from the underlying characteristics and primary rules intial lesson, this lesson will focus on some of the underlying principles of strategy and tactics. Depending on time, appropriately address all principles using Guided Discovery and Assessment tools to provide feedback. The following lesson will feature skills practiced on whole/part and/or mass/distributed basis.

Warm Up.
Students to play a game of chain tag, whereby similar to "British Bulldogs" but students form defensive chains of two or more across each "third" line. Can be slightly altered to remove the rule of remaining on the lines. Implement different movement techiques such as running, walking, stepping, skipping to make the cross court transition.

Part Practice of Passing, Catching and Stopping

Offense - Deception and Mobility - Deceive and trick the opponent.

- Have students break off into groups of four and outline several zones for each trio to occupy (typically u can have 6 per court). Students are to take turns attempting to deceive the two other members using bounce shots, flick passes, or fake passes to retain possession. Each time a mistake is made (holding the ball for longer than 4 seconds or he ball going out of bounds) possession changes to the other two members.

Defense - Students to decide wether a man on man defense or two on one style defense works better after trying both.

- Each red circle indicates a marker, and the arrows outline the length and breadth of one of the 6 zones.

Competency and Cohesion
- Removing the 6 squares, students are to attempt to maintain a zonal defense whilst the team in possession attempts to move the ball down the court using a variety of different passing options. (e.g must include, bounce pass, chest pass, roll pass to move down court without losing possession. Alternate possession after each attempt. After three attempts each, ask students to as a team discuss what worked and what didn't to successfully hatch a plan for their next three attempts.
