Game version
Target game: two teams of two take turns shooting at corner targets. Each team counts only its own hits.
Corner Target Shots
Hang targets in the goal corners and shoot slowly to learn to aim before you add power.

The steps
How it works
- Tie a towel or pinnie in each corner.
- Stand 6 yards out and shoot overhand.
- Aim at one target at a time.
- Take 20 shots and count your hits.
Coaching point
Look at it, then shoot it.
Safety: Shoot only at an empty goal or a goalie in full gear (ND200 chest protector). Keep everyone out of the shooting lane.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Pick a target: Less (big), Core (medium), More (small). Beat your own best out of 10.
Story
