Shooting in netball is a key aspect to winning. The purpose of the study was to
see if different performance indicators effected shot outcome. Ten Super League
netball matches were analysed using pre-recorded Sky video footage; data was
collected from both teams allowing data from twenty teams.
A hand notation system was designed, to collect the data, which was inputted
directly into Excel and exported into SPSS. Two non-parametric tests were used
in order to distinguish if there was a significant difference and effect on shot
outcome the test were Friedman and Wilcoxon test.
The results showed that, feed area, shooter position, shot type and the shooter all
have an effect on shot outcome. It also highlighted the most successful feed area,
which was 2 (left of the post) and shooters were, most successful, closer to the
post.
Practical implication of the study included how the information can be used in
order to help coaches may decisions and plan training session based on the
information found. The results can also highlight the areas for improvement for
example shooting accuracy in all areas.
