Netball: Shoot and Drive for the rebound

Thank you, what a brilliant site. Our team uses many of these effective...

DESCRIPTION

Player 2 moves into the circle to receive a ball from blue player 1.

Blue 1 immediately moves in to take up the rebound position with the defender (green player 1) and battle for the rebound.

If the shot is put up from A, the rebound position is the area marked by the semi circle.
The player must guard this area from her opponent.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage players to drive onto the pass from player 2 to lose the defender to allow herself to set up for the shot unopposed.

Players should be setting up to shoot as soon as they have received the ball - they only have 3 seconds from receiving the ball to releasing it.

Shooting Technique:

Feet shoulder width apart
Bent knees as if you were going to jump in the air
One hand holds the ball in the fingertips the other hand steadies the ball
Keep the body straight - head up and back straight
Focus at the back of the ring instead of the front
Let go of the ball as you straighten your legs
You should end the shot on your tiptoes
Arms follow through towards the ring

OFTEN USED WITH...

Follow your shot:

White player 1 throws to Blue player 1, then runs quickly into circle and receives ball back.
White player 1 then shoots, collects the ball, and passes to Red player 1, before joining the back of the Red player's line.
Red player 1 does the same from the other side and the drill continues.

Shooting

Dodge/Shoot/Rebound:

Blue player 1 dodges to receive from blue 2. The player inside the circle then returns the pass and dodges again.

Before being allowed to make the shot the circle player must receive 5 passes.

After 5 passes the defender takes the rebound, moves out of the circle and becomes the feeder so all 3 players rotate.

Shooting

Mark and rebound:

One shooter from each side runs out and into the circle. X passes the ball to the free shooter who balances then shoots.

Defender should defend the shot and also work to receive rebound and then return the ball to X.

Shooting

Cones - run/balance/shoot:

One player, the feeder, starts on the edge of the circle. The other player, the worker (number 1 in the diagram) runs around one of the cones set out on the edge of the shooting circle, then drives back into the circle to receive the ball before making the shot.

Shooter collects the successful shot or rebound, passes back out to the feeder and repeats with an alternative cone.
