Shooting means a lot of things. Of course it is the way your team scores goals, but it is also where your team shows how much discipline it has by the kind of shots that your players take.

PRESSURE THE GOAL

One of my favorite things as a coach is to watch our team first pressure the goal with a variety of good shots and then score just by keeping the ball hot, looking for good shots.

WHEN TO SHOOT

When a player gets a good look at the net, and is in his range it is a good time to shoot

YES THE BOUNCE SHOT IS GOOD TO TEACH . . .

But it is also good to let them work on and develop their own style, which comes with their own shots. If a player is doing something like "Air Gait" every time he is near the goal, then you must restrain his creativity and replace it with fundamentals.
