Coaching Soccer Drills: Killer Tips On Kicking
What if I told you that young players find it really hard to kick a soccer ball using a straight leg
? In coaching soccer drills, this is the trickiest part as far as the players and the coaches are concerned. It calls for the player to keep complete balance and bend the leg at the knee in order to kick the ball. Both power and stance to kick the ball emerges from below the knee.
This is the preliminary position in soccer practice for almost all kinds of kicks. The speeding up of the foot from below the knee generates a great impact on the ball. This offers great amount of power to players for carrying out different types of kicks. Nevertheless, it depends upon the type of contact that the ball has with the foot which concludes the kicks style.
For example; it could be hit very high, driven low, swung over left, or lean towards right.
In soccer, the three critical passes are the instep drive, a side foot pass, and the outside of the foot pass. Let's discuss them further.
The side foot pass: This is the easiest and the most widely used pass in teaching soccer. Normally, it is used to make short distance passes. While this pass can be easily predicted and is a little slow, it is extremely simple to learn and easy to carry out. The ball touches the inside of the foot and the ankle with the foot turned outwards.
In coaching soccer drills, guide the players to keep their bodies totally relaxed throughout the entire movement. This is by far the most critical rule applicable to all types of kicking actions. The ankle and the foot should be stiffened only at the time of contact with the ball.
Subsequently, as players are convinced of their ability to perform it, the action should come out smooth, natural, and relaxed.
Outside of the foot pass: Since this pass can never be predicted, is pretty accurate and quick, players must be trained on this even though its a little tough to master. The ball gets in touch between the outside edge of the foot and the laces with the foot extended and turned inwards. With the use of a foot, the pass is transformed into a speedy throw for short distances.
In the course of these coaching drills, players should keep their stance relaxed.
The Instep Drive: Here, the two versions; lofted versions and the low driven version are utilized to pass the ball to longer distances. Once mastered, this style can also be modified to make a "chip pass" or an "in swinging pass". The approach of the instep drive is slightly angled and the non kicking foot is placed about 12 inches to the side of and behind the ball.
The ball then comes into contact with the laces and inside of the foot which must be hard and extended.
So now coach your kids the various techniques of kicking the ball and with variations to let them do different things with the ball.
