EQUIPMENT YOU NEED:

FOCUS POINTS:

Follow the steps below to help improve your technique.

  • Keep the ball ready and in position when on the run. Don't have the ball in one hand. Have the ball ready so that when you are in a position to kick the ball you are holding it in the right spot
  • Typically players will pull the ball as the go to kick inside and miss the target. You have to understand and work against that urge to drop it inside and make sure you keep it out in front of you to kick straight.
  • Players will feel pressure when they are due to kick which can cause them to look up. You have to be sure kick the ball and keep going straight, running towards the goal.
