This class will go beyond teaching the mechanics of shooting & the curriculum will focus on teaching a player to make any opportunity into a goal! Players will learn to judge a situation in front of the goal and make the right decision in a split second.
During the class, the curriculum will cover various goal scoring opportunities such as 1 on 1, crosses from the side, receiving the ball with your back to the goal, movement off the ball, heading and much more.
