Coaching Points:Footwork is key. Keep ball close to body
and sheilded away from defender. Once the attacker needs
to accelerate passed the defender, make that move with
confidence and don't hesitate. Once they get passed the
defender, shoot quickly. They do not need a large window to
shoot the ball. They must beat the defender before they can
shoot, no shooting the second they recive the pass from
coach. Shooting on big goal, pick a corner of the net, high or
low.
