| When shooting with the inside of the foot the emphasis in on accuracy and not power. This technique will be
used from close range, as it is not a power shot. Composure is needed in match situations to deliberately pick
your spot on goal and place it the shot where you intend it to go. |

| Practice |
| From the center cone dribble the ball forward to the "base-line". From this line you must attempt to execute a low side-footed shot for the corners of the goal, with accuracy being the major consideration, vary the angles in which you approach the goal, with as encouragement to use both feet. Be alert to rebound and control them as economically as possible, then jog back to the base-line and repeat the practice. |
