Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the netball shooting Up and In e-book?

If you're a coach

I've been a netball coach for many school and representative teams. Sometimes you struggle with coaching various aspects of the game if you haven't played that position yourself (for example, I often had to consult my circle defender friends about defensive strategies). As I've been playing in the goal circle for many years I've learnt a few tricks on the way. This book covers all the skills you need to be a top level netball shooter and you can pass this advice onto your aspiring netball shooters too.

If you're a player

This netball shooting e-book is written for you! It is stacked with information about shooting confidence, goal-setting and neat plays you can use as a shooter to annoy your defenders. If you're not sure how to practice, the book contains 18 netball shooting cards which you can print out and take to your nearest shooting post.

Why was the Up and In e-book written?

Through high school and my representative netball career, I’ve had fantastic coaches who have taught me valuable skills about goal-shooting, from goal-setting (both short and long-term) to sneaky passes to set plays to simulated training sessions. I wanted to share the information I picked up over the last 15 years in an e-book that could be accessed easily online.

Who is the Up and In e-book written for?

The e-book is really a shooter’s handbook written for 12 – 16 year old netball shooters (or those player’s who want to become a shooter) and covers the basics (shooting technique, set plays) to more advanced lessons (such as exercises that help to become a stronger shooter, shooter psychology tips and more). Club and high school coaches may also find this information useful if they ever lead specialised sessions with their goal shooters.

Who wrote the book?

My name’s Leanne Hughes and I started playing netball at the age of 12 for a club division 2 team in Brisbane, Australia. From the minute my hand touched the ball I loved playing netball.
