Coaches' Tips for Shooting — At-a-Glance

Tips for Practice
  1. As a general rule, teach players to control the ball before trying to shoot. Shooting a rolling ball is a difficult skill, and only the most advanced Special Olympics players will accomplish it successfully.
  2. Encourage players to shoot toward the corners of the goal, not to the middle of the goal.
 
Tips for Competition
  1. Do not be afraid to shoot, even if you are not close to the goal. Good things can happen when you send the ball toward the goal.
