In netball, explain how a team can use a centre pass set‑play to break through a tight one‑to‑one defence, and identify two specific movement patterns used by attacking players to create space.

Teams use structured centre‑pass plays to disrupt tight marking by creating planned movement patterns. Two examples include:

  • The “split” movement — WA and GA drive in opposite directions to pull defenders apart and open a passing lane.

  • The “roll‑off” or “roll‑away” — an attacker pivots around their defender to receive the ball on the outside shoulder, creating separation and a clear passing option.
