DECISION MAKING EXERCISE
BASED ON "LONE RECEIVER" ROUTINE No. 24
from our WARM UP ROUTINES & PRACTICES NO.2 netball video

• Allow your players time to get used to the routine
  
• Once you are happy with the way they are landing and turning, bring in the DECISION MAKING aspect of the routine
• When X1 has made her landing and turns to face R, both R and the next X can either have their hands "open" or their hands are "closed"
• X1 then has to decide which player has her hands "open"
• If both players have their hands "open", then the worker can pass to either of them
• If both of the players have their hands "closed", then the worker has to pivot around and pass the ball back to the feeder F, and the routine continues with the next X

Sometimes I feel the players go on automatic pilot and just want to get to the end of the routine as quickly as possible. This exercise makes them think about who they have to pass the ball to and starts to develop the DECISION MAKING skill, which is so important in Netball.
