Above all, remember that dome hockey is supposed to be fun. Don’t ruin the fun of friendly competition by making it too competitive or by spending hours and hours practicing your skills.

That said, there’s a reason the best players are the best players. The more you practice at dome hockey, the better you’ll become. Practicing moves, particularly passes and shots off the wall, by yourself can be especially helpful. Stiga, the leading table hockey manufacturer, also suggests some great moves on its website.

Some of the best players remember to use more than their sticks alone. In other words, learn to use the wall, which defenders either can’t reach or won’t think to defend. In addition, use your players’ feet; if the puck is at your feet, a quick spin will release the puck in a surprise direction, and you might score an easy goal.

Don’t just keep the puck at your feet, however; be active and avoid an overly defensive strategy. Not only is the game more fun when it’s active, but you’re also far more likely to score from a close shot. In foosball, the goalie regularly scores, but in dome hockey, it is almost always the forwards who score the goals.
