Tennis netball

Start with a standard warm up - half or full pitch jog, then some dynamic stretching focusing on legs and core mobility (think calf walks, open the gate-close the gate, lunges, spidermans, squats, jump squats, etc.) Finish with a couple of sprints to get the blood and hearts pumping.

Then can move onto stick and ball warm up or start with a 'fun game' like tennis netball:

  • Play sideways across one quarter of the pitch. Two teams of 8 if you have 16.

  • Goals are ‘zones’ set up using cones on each end and you get a ‘point’ for passing the ball into that zone. “Turn and burn” so once you score on one end you try to turn and get to the other end.

  • Player on the ball has to stand still (can take one or two steps if they catch on the move - think basketball rules once you’ve collected the ball after a dribble)

  • Teammates move into space and opponents try to mark them.

  • To progress, you can change the passing technique. Start with any kind of throw, then it has to be a bounce pass, then you have to roll the ball along the floor to pass (this latter one encourages the girls to get low and into a hockey-like posture)

Simple stick and ball warm up ideas:

Me and my ball time

    • Every player takes a ball and practices dribbling skills

    • Can set up some cones for them to dribble round/through

    • Progress options:

      • Blow a whistle and they have to link with another player and pass a ball

      • Have different calls and the girls have to change their speed, do a spin or skill, etc. Be creative!


      Pairs

    • Passing warm up

    • Start really close (just a few metres apart) and pass 10-20 times

    • Then get a bit further away and pass 10-20 times

    • Keep getting further and practise different passing skills

  • Depending on the level of the girls you’ll want to make sure each pair are separated by a decent amount to prevent errant balls causing injury

      • Progress:

      • If the girls are confident, try some passes to the reverse side

two pairs warm ups

Blue lines = carry/dribble

Yellow = pass

Gray = run

1) Simple 4 player passing warm up

  • Split two pairs by about 15 metres - 1 ball per group (with maybe a couple spare behind each group)
  • Carry the ball forward and pass. Join the back of the other pair
  • Next player does the same the other way
2) Progression of the above
  • Same as above but make the first touch at an angle, carry at an angle, and pass at an angle (hockey is all about angles!)
3) Another progression option - 1-2
  • Player A carries forward but passes a bit earlier than before. Player B passes the ball back to A, who has kept moving forward a bit, then A passes to B again before B carries the other way
  • Etc.
