Set Snaps

This set snap drill will talk you through the technique needed to score goals from the boundary. Be sure to set the ball right and work out where you are aiming for before you step off your mark to kick that goal.

EQUIPMENT YOU NEED:

FOCUS POINTS:

Follow the steps below to help improve your technique.

  • Take your time, set the ball right and use the spin line on the Precision ball to work out where you should be aiming at to hit the target.
  • Once you have worked out the angle and feel comfortable, you need to be looking at the far goal post and use that as your target. If it's windy then you might need to either bring that target forward or back slightly depending on the direction of the wind.
  • When kicking these snaps you want to take only 1 or 2 steps off the mark and then kick the ball towards goal as you're going to be closed down by the opposition quickly.
