• A goal circle

A netball ring or a hoop on a pole; balls.

Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Stand facing the ring, feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold the ball high above the head on the fingers of the shooting hand; the other hand steadies the side.
3. Bend the knees and elbows together, then straighten both, sending the ball up high and in.
4. Step in for the rebound if it misses.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. Feet shoulder-width apart, the ball high above the head, the other hand at its side.
2. Bend the knees and elbows.
3. Extend the arms fully on a high arc.
4. Rebound any miss.
5. 10 shots each from close, halfway and the edge of the circle.
