I firstly before this gathered them together and went through the shooting technique so they could be able to do the activity, after that we went into a little game on half a court, i had to join in as to make up numbers. at the end we did a little cool down and i mentioned what i had planned for the next following session.
The chest pass is the most accurate way of getting the ball around the court.
As well as getting the ball into the attacking zone, the pass is often used at throw-ins.
Your hands should form a W behind the ball.
Bring your thumbs together in the centre with your fingers comfortably spread out.
When making a pass, step forward with one foot.
This will help you get energy from the floor as you push through with the ball.
Keep your elbows close to your body and push through with the ball.
As you release the ball, straighten your arms and fingers. Keep your wrists pointed upwards to help fully extend your arms.
Keep your eye on the receiver. If you're catching the ball, move towards not away from it.
If you see a player in space in the next third, the overhead pass is the one to use.
Tall defenders can reach up and intercept the ball, so you must put plenty of power into the pass.
Spread your fingers around the ball but don't let it rest on your palms. Bend your arms and try and keep your elbows in close to your body.
Lift the ball over your head and allow it to drop back slightly - this will give you a little extra push as you release the ball
Put one foot forward as this will help you lean into the pass.
Aim between your team-mate's head and their chest - this should help them catch the ball easier.
Give the ball a little push upwards by getting your whole body weight behind it.
Don't forget to stretch out your arms and fingertips upon release.
The bounce pass fits the bill when defenders are closing in and you need to act quickly.
Players mostly use this pass inside the goal circle to feed shooters.
Space is restricted in the goal circle and the bounce is often an effective way to weave the ball past the defenders' legs.
A bounce pass can be one or two-handed. When you're ready to make yours, hold the ball at chest height.
Make sure your fingers are pointing towards the floor of the court.
Stand with one of your feet forward so you can bend your knees as you make the pass.
You need to release the ball from waist height. Use the power from your arms and knees as you push the ball forward.
Aim the ball just over halfway between you and the receiver. You need to get it to sit up - this will help your team-mate catch the ball.
Extend your arms as you make the pass to keep the ball on the right path.
Netball: shoulder pass
The shoulder pass is used to cover bigger distances on court than the chest pass.
The ball is thrown at a greater height so it's another way you can outwit defenders.
But it is not a looping pass - your throw should follow a straight line between your shoulder and the receiver's hands.
Shoulder passes are thrown one-handed so make sure you've got a steady grip on the ball. Control it with both hands and bring it up to shoulder level.
Place your throwing hand behind the ball with your fingers spread. You will get more power if you move your opposite foot in front of your body
To get maximum power behind this pass, you need to fully straighten your arm.
Remember your whole arm, right down to your finger tips, must follow through the throw.
Aim to point your fingers in the same direction as the pass. Keep your head up and your eye on the receiver.
If you want to be a sharp shooter you need to keep your balance, find your aim and use your whole body to make the shot.
You also need to stay focused and calm under pressure.
You can shoot from anywhere inside the goal circle, but having a good view of the ring and a balanced position is important.
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and keep your body straight.
Balance the ball on the fingertips of one hand and use your other hand to steady it. Remember, you only have three seconds to take a shot.
The power for your shot comes from the floor, so you need to bend your knees as if you are about to jump into the air.
Keep your back straight and your head up. As you prepare to release the ball, drop your hands back behind your head.
Try and focus on a point at the back rather than the front of the ring, and let the ball go at the same time as you straighten your legs.
Move your arms as little as possible when you release the ball but add spin by flicking your wrists.
You should end your shot standing on tiptoes with your arms following through towards the ring.
