Start with Strong Technique

• Review each shooter technique – Elevate Shooting Cheat Sheet 

• Shooting fault detection – Cheat sheet 

• Are your shooters accurate? What is their shooting percentage during a game and under pressure? If your shooter is 85% or more accurate during a match, I would not adjust their technique majorly (unless they hoot from the chest). 85% or more in community netball is a great average and any major adjustments, may alter their accuracy. 

• Adjust any techniques in a way that will improve their accuracy. 
• Demonstrate what ‘Auto correct’ is – Cheat Sheet

Use Shooting Routines

• Encourage players to develop a consistent pre-shot routine (e.g. breathe, bend, flick).

• Routines build confidence under pressure.

Repetition Under Pressure

• Include game-like pressure (e.g., timed shooting, defenders, or crowd noise).

• Create challenges like “5 in a row” to simulate match pressure.

• Set up activities that increase fatigue, and then ask the shooters to get a certain amount of goals in. This mimics game pressure. 

Shooting Variety

• Practice from different angles, distances, and situations (e.g. on the move, rebounds).

• Include both GS and GA in shooting sets to develop team flow.

Track Progress

• Record accuracy each week and let players see their growth.

• Use goal setting: “I want to go from 6/10 to 8/10 from the edge of the circle.”

Build Confidence

• Praise effort and improvement, not just outcome.

• Avoid overloading players with too many technical points — focus on one at a time.

Set up a home program 

• Create a home program for the shooters. Include fatigue, volume and movement.
• Ask players to note progress in a homework book and bring to training signed off by their parents each week. 
• Update every 6-8 weeks
