This session looks at building upon your players current shooting abilities. Players get to develop circle rotation and look at linking players together up and down the court. Players will be working through competitive practices to challenge and drive players to further develop their attacking capabilities.
What?s in the session?
During the warm-up, you build your players partnerships in their shooting pairs before developing their shooting under pressure during a game of killer.
The skill development starts with a practice which works on the GS and GA?s movement in the D to get free. The practice then incorporates defenders to make it more match-specific working on holding the defender to create space for others to lead in to.
After taking the practice back into the mid-court to incorporate the C and WA in the move, the conditioned game at the end moves players into uncomfortable positions to help them recognise the movement of other positions and how it can help their own.
Create decisive, clever forward, able to create space and finish with every shot.

Split circle defence is the system the top three NSL teams have built their identity around in 2026. The Goal Keeper and Goal Defence divide the circle into zones, switch in synchrony, and make every passing option look risky. Here is how to coach it.
Most netball shooters know how to shoot. The difference at the top is who can shoot when it counts. A structured 10-minute pre-game mental routine is the most under-used performance tool in club netball - and it is the simplest to teach.
The best Goal Defences in the 2026 NSL season are intercepting more than ever. The reason is not raw athleticism. It is a deliberate shift from chasing the attacker to driving into the flight path of the ball. Here is how to coach it.
