STEP TO KICK A SOCCER BALL PROPERLY!

Key terms: Plant foot, kicking foot, inside of foot, leg position, body position and follow through.

STEP 1

  • The plant foot (non-kicking foot) should be alongside the soccer-ball facing the direction in which the ball is to be passed. This helps with the easy, comfortable and proper passing of the ball with no friction between the kicking foot and plant foot.
STEP 2

  • Using the inside of your foot, NOT YOUR TOES, position your kicking foot horizontal to the ball in preparation to pass the ball.

STEP 3
  • The position of your kicking leg would determine how much power you would exert on the ball and how far the ball would go. Therefore, the further back your leg is the more power would be released and the further the ball shall go.









STEP 4
  • The position of your body also determines where the ball shall go. You want to ensure that you lean slightly forward, with your head a little over the ball before passing the ball. This ensures that the ball is passed on the ground and not in the air which would happen if you were to lean backwards when passing the ball. It also supports stability.
STEP 5
  • After making contact with the ball you must follow through in order to gain power and placement on the ball. This can also prevent injury and allow you to get maximum power on your pass.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU NOW KNOW HOW TO PASS A SOCCER-BALL!!!!!!
