Phase: Activities

Students are split into small teams with 4-6 on each team. One team is on attack and one is on defence. The team on attack must move around and attempt to 'connect 5' by successfully completing 5 passes in a row. If they do this, they collect a point. If a point is scored or if the ball or intercepted by the other team, then the other team becomes the attackers and can attempt to 'connect 5'. An attacking player with the netball is not allowed to move thier feet, however the rest of their team may move into space and recieve a pass to accumulate points. If the ball travels outside the playing boundary, it will be a turn over of possession.  

Modifications

Create a larger area to allow more space for players to move to. To change the level of difficulty, change the number of passes that has to be completed to score a point. Place more people on the attacking team to create a higher chance of their being an open attacking player. If the ball is dropped, it will be a turn over of possession.
