Netball: Circle Shots

I am currently coaching a senior college team and I have found Sportplan...
Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

Shooter sprints out to circle edge and, on return, receives a pass.
Shooter must balance, shoot, rebound then return ball to player 1. She continues until 5 goals have been scored - running to a different cone each time, then swap with the feeder. Vary the place at which the feeder stands.
Then introduce a defender.

COACHING POINTS

  • Sudden change of direction at the cone and drive onto the ball.

    Cones - run/balance/shoot | 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
    Follow your shot | Shooting

    Follow your shot:

    1. White player 1 throws to Blue player 1, then runs quickly into circle and receives ball back.

    2. White player 1 then shoots, collects the ball, and passes to Red player 1, before joining the back of the Red player's line.

    3. Red player 1 does the same from the other side and the drill continues.

    Shooting
    Dodge/Shoot/Rebound | 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
    Rebound - groups | Shooting

    Rebound - groups:

    White player 1 throws to Red player 1 and then follows in to mark and catch the rebound from the Red player's shot.

    The White player returns the ball to the next player in their line and joins the back of the Red player's line.

    The Red player in turn joins the back of the White player's line.
