If you are really serious about developing your netball shooting technique, then you can still use games as a good learning tool.
Instead of worrying about your technique during games, ask a friend or family member to film you play. Once the game has finished you can then take this footage and analyse it to help you improve your shooting. Identify flaws in your technique and work on them at training during the week. Film yourself playing again, and compare your previous technique to your new technique to monitor your progress. Getting into the right headspace is extremely important, as it allows you to concentrate on your shots, focus on your technique, and improves your chances of scoring regularly.
There are a variety of mental techniques that you can use to focus and channel your mind before a game. If you respond well to music, then consider listening to some of your favourite artists pre-game. Go for songs which help put you in the zone. Practice positive mental imagery, meditate and train to improve your self-confidence, and do whatever you can do put yourself in the right mindset before every game.
Make sure that you concentrate particularly hard on eliminating negative thoughts while you are on the court. If there is one mantra that you should live by when training, this is it. Instead, focus on using the best technique that you can whenever you train. By all means, practise shooting as often as possible, but always try and practise with the right technique. Failing to do so will just stunt your improvement.
If you are serious about taking your netball game to the next level, make a point of improving your shooting technique and scoring numbers. Stand inside the shooting semicircle. According to netball rules, you can only shoot when you're inside this portion of the court, which includes the line that marks the circle. Align your body with the netball post, with your feet and hips shoulder distance apart and facing forward.
Hold the netball with your dominant hand. Position it behind and under the ball, and use your fingertips to cradle it softly.
Make sure that your fingers are relaxed as they hold the ball. If they're grasping too tight or are too straight, your shot may be off. Steady the ball with your other hand. Stabilizing it allows you to give the ball extra spin when you shoot.
New or young netball players may want to use both hands to hold the ball in order to generate enough power to shoot, but keep in mind that it can actually increase the chance of shooting errors. Using one hand to shoot and the other only to steady the ball ensures a more accurate shot. Stretch your arms over your head. You want to hold the ball high for the most accurate shot, so your elbows are near your forehead and slightly flexed. Make sure that they're facing the netball post too.
Have the goal net in your view. Imagine a cone above the net, like a witch's hat, and focus on the highest, most center point -- that's where you want to aim the ball. The best shots fall through without actually touching the ring, so you want to keep the ball as centered as possible. All of your focus should be on the hoop, so do your best to ignore distractions.
It may help to line the edge of the ball up with the edge of the hoop before you take your shot. Part 2. Bend your knees and elbows at the same time. While your arms and hands will determine what direction the ball goes in, the real power for your shot comes from the lower body.
That means you have to prepare to push up through your ankles and knees. You should also keep your back straight and hold your head up high.
Push up and release the ball. To generate the most power for your shot, your arms and knees should straighten at the same time, while your dominant hand flicks the ball upwards. That helps create a backward spin that allows for a high ball trajectory as it soars toward the net, so it drops through without touching the ring. Releasing early can throw your shot off.
In game action, put your hand up as soon as the ball is out of your hands. That way, if you don't get it in, you can have another try. Keep practicing. It will take time to develop your skills, but shooting goals will get easier the more you try.
Test how far you need to bend to create the most powerful shot, and then try to replicate the form each time that you take a shot. Part 3. Take longer shots. While you must be inside the shooting semicircle, it is a fairly large area, which means there are a variety of distances that you can shoot from. As you become more comfortable, though, start increasing the distance of your shot. Shoot with a feeder in place. To become comfortable shooting in that situation, it helps to practice with another player feeding you the ball.
You should start outside the shooting semicircle, while the other player begins inside the semicircle with the ball. The other player should feed you the ball from in front of you, so you can run into it to receive it. Practice running into the semicircle to receive the ball from various spots outside and at various speeds.
Shoot with a defender in place. Start by standing opposite the hoop. The defending player should stand between you and it, with her arms raised over her head to effectively block your shot. The best way to relax yourself for a shot is to tune out all the outside distractions. Instead of paying attention to the other players or the crowd, focus just on the ring and take a quick moment to visualize the ball going through it before you take your shot. Not Helpful 12 Helpful Before the game, take time to yourself, try listening to music or going on a walk.
Stay calm and don't stress too much. At the game, don't listen to rubbish talk around you and avoid the boasters. Visualize your success over and over in your mind before heading to the court.
Not Helpful 14 Helpful Try playing all the positions first. The one you enjoy the most, find the easiest to perform, and score the best in, will be your best position. Not Helpful 23 Helpful A good way is to stand on the side of the net, be as close to it as you can and bend your knees. Then, using your leg muscles, spring up and shoot.
Not Helpful 28 Helpful Millie Bew. If that helps you balance, yes, but most people have both feet shoulder width apart for better balance. Not Helpful 6 Helpful Add a little knee flex, springing upwards when you shoot, and then release the ball.
Experimenting how far you need to bend your knees will determine the best results. Focusing on the back section of the hoop as you shoot will also increase your accuracy. A ' wristy ' finger flick will impart backspin as you release the ball. That encourages the ball to bounce back towards you if it misses the hoop. The same strategy applies if it rebounds off a player who is shielding and defending for the other team.
Goal shooters are always searching for ways to improve their technique. Using these netball shooting techniques should increase your scoring rate.
