We asked international and Superleague netballer Berri Neil for three shooting drills to improve shooting accuracy and technique. These netball shooting drills are super easy to do at home! They’re designed to be done on your own so if no one is around to be your feeder, you can still get a good training session in. To improve shooting accuracy and technique, we recommend shooters put up 200 shots a day, five days a week. So grab a ball, and some cones and let’s start shooting! These drills are suitable for beginners and experienced players. Netball shooting drill one: This first netball shoot ..read more
