How many goals should an U11 practice each night?

We are struggling to find an U11 shooter in either team. How can I encourage the players to practice more at home and what is a realistic amount of goals to practice at this age?

You should encourage them to practice at least 50 goals a day.It sounds like a lot but it only takes around half an hour to do so.

Thank you Jenna. I have started shooting practice on another night for three weeks to see if this helps encourage them to practice at home as I will be able to see improvement from matches and one on one training.
