Setup
Form 2 even teams and choose ends. Tell players the objective is to thieve opponents cones and place them inside their own goal circle. Scatter 10 cones in each goal circle.
Step 1
Players begin in their home base third. On 'go!' the team split duties between:-

1. Guards who stay at home base and defend cones in possession

2. Thieves who run down the other end and attempt to steal from the opposing team's stash of cones
Step 2
Guards: Only allowed outside the goal circle and in their defensive third

Block approaching attackers by tracking their run and placing their body in their path

Can block both ways - impede the attacker's entry into and exit from the goal circle
Step 3
Attackers: Run to the opponents end and try to slip past the guards into the goal circle and back out, to fetch a cone

Only 1 cone can be stolen per trip

Normal netball rules regarding contact & obstruction - penalise attackers by making them retreat to home base / penalise defenders by attackers to fetch a cone and exit unobstructed

Once through, the thief returns the cone to goal circle, deposits it, exits the area quickly.
Step 4
After 90-120 second call 'stop!' and count the cones. Recover & repeat.

Discuss tactics used, e.g. committing troops versus defending barracks, and their effectiveness
