3. Cycle of Analysis • Aims: • Identify Structures, Strategies and Compositions fundamental to Netball Performance • Identify Strengths and Weaknesses of Netball Performance • Use of Information Processing, Problem-Solving and Decision Making in relation to improvement of Netball Performance • To achieve these aims we will work through the Cycle of Analysis:

4. Key Concept 1 – The structures, strategies and/ or compositional elements that are fundamental to activities

5. TASK SHEET: 2 Fundamentals of Netball • What is a Structure? • A structure involves different considerations such a roles and relationships, formations, tactics and group and team principles • What is a Strategy? • A strategy is how you use your skills and plan your tactics within a structure. Strategies are commonly used in different competitive, individual and team games KC1: (1)

6. What is a Tactic? A tactic is a specific way of carrying out a particular strategy. It usually involves more than one player and should make good use of individual skills. What is a Game Plan? A game plan requires good teamwork. Players should understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses if they are to play effectively as a team ALWAYS PLAN! Look at Strengths and Weaknesses Select a Suitable Structure Devise a Game Plan Put Plan into Practice Look at Results Fundamentals of Netball cont… KC1: (1)

7. In Attack Objective: To move the ball quickly into the ‘attacking circle’ so that a goal may be scored Method: Quick Dodges, Sharp Passes In Defence Objective: Put pressure on opposition To slow down play To stop attack scoring To gain possession of the ball Method: Restrict space for opposition Tempo of Play KC1: (2)

8. Key Concept 2 – Identification of strengths and weaknesses in performance in terms of: roles and relationships; formations; tactical or design elements; choreography and composition

9. Methods of Collecting Data ‘General’ Match Analysis • Match Analysis Sheets are useful because: • They allow you to break down and record evidence about skills required in netball • After your improvement plan you can look back at this information again to see if you have made any improvements (comparison) • After these ‘general’ methods of collecting data (see slide 10), you can then collect ‘focused data’ (see slide 24) KC2: (1)

10. Methods of Collecting Data Match Analysis Sheet Example (Whole Game)

11. Formations KC2: (2)

12. Positions, Roles and Responsibilities • Goal Shooter (GS) - responsible to shoot and score. Only allowed in the attacking goal third. • Goal Attack (GA) - responsible to shoot and score. Only allowed in the attacking goal third & centre third. • Wing Attack (WA) - responsible for getting ball to shooters. Allowed in attacking third & centre third, but not in shooting circle. • Centre (C) – responsible for getting ball to shooters & helping bring the ball out of defence. Allowed in all thirds – but not shooting circles. • Wing Defence (WD) – responsible for getting ball out of defence to shooters. Allowed in defensive third & centre third but not shooting circle. • Goal Defence (GD) – responsible for preventing opposition scoring. Allowed in defensive third & centre third & defensive shooting circle. • Goal Keeper (GK) – responsible for preventing opposition scoring. Allowed in defensive third & shooting circle. KC2: (3)

13. Task…Recap! • Positions, Roles and Responsibilities • Task – Memory Brainstorm (Slide 12) • What are the 7 positions in Netball? • What is the responsibility of the GA? • What is the responsibility of the GK? • What third(s) can the C play in? • What third(s) can the WA play in?

14. Principles of Play/Tactics • Width: • This is particularly important during the attacking centre pass strategy • It is important the GA moves wide of the circle to create our triangle link. This creates space, drags the defender out and dictates where we want the pass • Speed: • Fast reactions to the whistle • Bringing the ball up the court quickly • Difficult to defend • Support: • WD & GD dominated the opposition. WA & GA preventing them getting into position to delay/interfere with our attack • Penetration: • Keeping the shooter wide & creating a space for GA to move into at the RIGHT TIME meant our passes often cut through the defence (penetrate) KC2: (4)

15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFr7ajZkkCc TASK: Video Clip – Basic Principles of Tactics • In groups, consider the 4 ‘Basic Principles of Tactics’ and answer the following • Clip 1 (Yellow Team): • What player receives the ball from the Centre? • In terms of width, what does this player do well? • What did this player ‘create’ when she did this? • Clip 2 (Yellow Team): • What player receives the ball from the Centre? • In terms of speed, what does this player do well ‘straight after’ she receives the pass? • Clip 3 (Red Team): • Once the red team intercepted the ball, what did they do well in terms of ‘speed’, ‘support’ and ‘penetration’?

16. Strategy 1: The Attacking Centre Pass • Width – Attacking Centre Pass How? – WA/GA in ready position in the middle of the line, when the whistle goes WA dodges and drives wide to one side of the court – GA reads WA’s play and a second later, if needed, drives wide to the opposite side creating two options for the centre pass with no players blocking the middle channel Why? - WA/GA draws defenders out wide with them to receive the centre pass, consequently creating space down the middle channel of the court that the next pass could potentially be played into KC2: (5)

19. Quick Fire Questions • During the attacking centre pass, what two players are available to pass to? • Out of these players, who makes the first move wide? (WA or GA) • Can you think of any other players that the C may be able to pass to?

20. Methods of Collecting Data Focused Data on Attacking Centre Pass

21. Focused Data Strategy 2: Defending Backline • Depth – Defending Backline How? – GK has the ball for a backline pass, GD stands in front of WD who stands in front of C down the middle of the court, GD makes the first move for the ball, if needed WD drives out for a pass in the opposite direction than GD to give a second option, if neither are able to receive a pass C drives down the space in the middle of the court as a third option to receive the pass Why? – Having players behind each other adds depth KC2: (6)

24. Key Concept 3 – The importance of adapting/changing structures, strategies and compositions in response to performance demands

25. Adapting/Changing the Attacking Centre Pass Strategy • Why? • When teams use the attacking centre pass strategy, it can often become predictable for the opposition • Teams therefore have to adapt or change this strategy • How? • A third and fourth option pass can be used during this strategy • Two new players will be available for a pass, the WD and GD (see next slide) • The GS will then move wide and receive the ball from the player in possession of the ball (WD or GD) KC3: (1)

27. Attacking Centre Pass Task • If we agree we should keep the ball going forward at a centre pass, you can now design 4 options to use in a game • In groups, firstly choose a player who will be receiving the ball (WA or GA or GD or WD) • Using the handout/following slide, label the movement of this player and ALL other players before she receives the ball
