Netball: Killer Shooting

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...

Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

The aim of the game is to score a goal before the person in front of you does to get them out. The final player left in the line wins.

The first player takes a shot from the top edge of the D if that shot goes in they pass the ball to the third player and join the back of the line. If they miss they must collect their ball and keep shooting.

The 2nd player however can start as soon as player 1 has taken their first shot. If player 2 gets a shot in before player 1 player 1 is out and must stand behind the red cone.

Player 1 passes the ball to the next player and then they can start.
Player 2 passes their ball to player four and joins the back of the line. As soon as player 3 has had their first shot player 4 can start.

The game continues until there is only one player left.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage players to chase down the player in front of them.

Try to get players thinking about the shooting technique that they are using and whether its effective - if not how could they change it. They could have a look at others shooting techniques to see their success rate.

This practice you need to encourage the players to be NASTY not NICE. They are against all other players and should want to win, while still focusing on their technique.

Maintaining shooting accuracy under pressure

The best attackers aren?t only the best at shooting, their movement off the defenders to create space is exceptional. Develop players who can find the space and then finish under pressure every time.

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

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.

Shooting

One-Two, Driving Shooting:

Set up two equal lines of players, stood behind the post.

Each player has to run out to a cone on the edge of the shooting circle where they then receive a pass landing with one-two footwork. Players then take a shot, and collect the rebound.

After collecting their own rebound players rotate positions. The shooter goes to edge of the shooting circle with the ball and the player previously outside the shooting circle joins the back of the line.

Drill then continues.
