Often young netball players throw the ball at the hoop which can result in a lot of rebounded shots. However, by using the metaphor "Make a Rainbow" you can help your players visualise the correct shooting form to get the ball up and over - helping them to become a top goal shooter.
What's in the Session?Part 1:
To get your players shooting with loop we kick things off with three rainbow pattern warm ups, teaching your players to focus on getting height on their shots and shooting with a flick of the wrist.
Part 2:
After this we up the tempo and work on Speed Footwork and Shooting in a series of driving drills, designed to get your players sprinting into the circle, using 1-2 footwork and shooting at the goal hoop with accuracy. We then finish this goal scoring session with a conditioned game to see which team can make the most shots in the allotted time!
Give this plan a try tonight and improve your young netballer's shooting.

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.
