The ten sections covered by the Skills Selector:

Movement and Passing

The practices is this section combine netball passes with pivoting, changes of direction, lunging, and rolling off a player to receive a pass. They progress from simple movements needed to catch a ball to more complex combinations.

Shooting

The shooting practices offer simple, standing shot practices, and progress into combinations involving stepping forward, backwards and sideways. Running shot practices have been devised to combine movements with two shooters moving in the goal circle. The more complex practices include feeders working around the circle.

Use of Space

These practices are mainly related to attacking situations. In the first instance players work together to create space and to provide options for the pass. The practices are progressive and combine movements to provide a series of tactical suggestions.

Mobility in Space

The practices here show players where to move to make the most positive effect on court. For example, where do we run to cause the most problems for our opposition ? Where do we run to help a team mate? These questions are answered in both simple and advanced routines.

Co-operation & Competition

The activities in this section offer practices which encourage decision making in both simple and complex situations. The range is from individual routines to full court work in teams.

Defending the Player

The defending movements required by individuals, small groups and teams are offered in simple routines, advanced court work and strategic defensive plays.

Defending a Pass

Timing and making judgements are the skills practised in this section. The drills offer reaction type activities, group and progressive practices. The more advanced the training session, the more refined decision making is required.

Rebounding

These practices demonstrate the importance of variety in movements, strength and good form in jumping technique, explained in the coaching points. The practices are set out in simple form for beginners progressing to the more spectacular for advanced players.

Anticipation & Interception

This group of activities is designed to increase confidence in an individual's ability to take part in team strategies, and defensive tactics with reliability. The activities range from warm up games to full court work.

FUNdamental Games

These games are set out in training sessions, with a theme, eg run, jump and balance. Obstacle circuits with fun activities form part of the routines and some competitive elements are included.
