The purpose of this study was to identify if training a netball player to execute a jump shot as an alternative to the traditional standing shot, would result in greater shooting accuracy, for shots taken from a distance of three metres. Three testing occasions were employed, with club-class goal shooters allocated into three groups - experimental (n=6), training control (n=6) and pure control (n=6). Netball shooters underwent a shooting intervention of three sessions (100 shots) per week for six weeks. The six-week training intervention increased shooting accuracy between the three groups at both the mid-intervention and post-intervention. Findings substantiate that a change in shooting technique and the practice variability of the jump shot allowed for the greatest improvement in shooting accuracy.
