I think for learning, it would be better if you had someone to help train you... maybe perhaps rally with you or perhaps set some shots up :P thats how I learnt... The wall is only helpful for hitting it above the line, but in reality, the net is different depending on how far u stand and stuff :P

I either use the one in Stanley Park or David Lam Park. There's also one near the Stadium Skytrain Station and all weather field. I was thinkin of going out yesterday morning, until I saw the snow.

where you live near?
