One of the biggest problems we have as a team is not enough time on the court to practice. This can be fixed by players working at home. As long as you have a stick and a ball, you can practice on your own and become a better player. Practicing on your own is important because you can take the
time to learn what makes you the most comfortable as a player.

Coaches are unable to spend an entire practice teaching you how to shoot when they have a whole team to worry about. Try spending a few hours in your driveway at home shooting at a bucket or another small target. When you start hitting the target, remember what you did and repeat. This will help you develop the consistency needed so you can start trusting your shot. This drill will also improve your passing skills.

Ball handling is also important because it helps you keep things under control during a game. The best drill for this is to just run up and down your driveway controlling the ball with your stick. If you lose the ball, just go back and get it and keep trying. Everyone loses the ball at some point, so you can't get frustrated and quit.

Finally, most of our athlete's disabilities are genetic, meaning they cannot lift weights to really build muscles. However, it is still very important to exercise at home to build the stamina needed to play. During tournament play, a team of 10 players will play 7 games in 3 days. It takes a lot out of a person physically and emotionally. However, nothing is worse than working so hard to get to the championship game and losing because you ran out of gas. Exercise as much as you can!!!!!!!!

All of the above can be done on your own. You have to be willing to go that extra mile for your self and your teammates. Don't let limited team practice time be an excuse for you not being the best that you can.
