Got a video camera? Take pictures of the ball coming out of the shooter (on the practice field, of course), with a clearly marked yard stick (a meter stick would be better) behind it. Each video frame is 1/30 of a second, so at 12 meters per second, you should see 12/30 = 0.4 meters per video frame.
