Throwing Drill

A great way to improve your throwing is to go to a wall. Any wall you can find and throw the ball off the wall over and over again until your too tired to throw anymore. You want to do this with your dominant and non-dominant hand to perfect the form with both of your hands A good way for your throwing accuracy to improve is to just pick a spot on the wall and try to hit the spot over and over again. Throwing off the wall also improves your hand eye coordination and catching skills.

Time & Room Shooting Drill

To perfect your time & room shooting you and a partner should have about 50 balls in 2 piles of 25 each. You and your partner should stand at about the 10 yard line on the hashes facing eachother. You pass the ball to your partner he catches the pass and shoots lefty. Then You receive the pass from your partner and shoot righty. This is a good way to work on your time and room shooting with both your dominant and non-dominant hand.

Shooting on the Run Drill

A great way to improve your shooting on the run is to bring out about 50 balls to a field and to dodge and shoot from different spots on the field. The form perfects it self after many repeteitions. Must importantly when you are recovering from the shot you have to make sure your back is facing the goal.
