Abstract: The objective of this project is the recording and analysis of the types of shots that are realized in a number of Women’s Basketball matches, as well as the recording and analysis of the effectiveness of the shots regarding their position of execution, so as to present a clear image of an amount of factors which are related to the shots and canvass whether these factors have a bearing on victory or defeat. For the realization of this objective, video analysis was done, in thirty four (n= 34) basketball matches of the First Women’s League from 2005 to 2010. The program “Sportscout” was used for the analysis of the matches. The comparisons that were made concerned: a) the types of shots in relation to their effectiveness and b) the effectiveness of the types of shots made from within court in relation to their execution positions in both victory and defeat. The statistic process of the data includes the presentation of frequency at a double-entry table (Crosstabs command) and the application of the x² (Chi-square) test. The results show that there are significant differences between winners and defeated in the types of shots and their effectiveness as well as in the execution positions of shots. More specifically, winners made shots from low post position more frequently and presented better rates, more free-throws, more successful lay-ups and less off-target two-point shots compared to the defeated. The kinds of shots performed from within court in total of offensive attempts were: jump shots at a percentage of 85.8%, lay-ups 13.4%, hook-shots 0.6% and follows 0.4%.
