Practicing In-Step Kick and Techniques (Keeping The Ball Low)

First thing to do is warn-up and stretching (15 mins.). Dribble the ball for pre-stretch warm-up. Stretch all 7 basic muscle areas. warm-up having 4 players in a group 3 maintaining possession, 1 defends, as drill in progress let players move 8 yards apart and use the In-Step Kick

Techniques:

• Ankle locked, Toe down
• Non-kicking foot facing target and on side of ball a little distance away.
• Eye on exact place of kicking (Middle of ball)
• Strike center slightly above the midpoint (Strike the top half of the ball. Touch the correct spot on the ball)
• Head down and steady - see foot hit through the ball
• Identify proper place on footwear that should contact the ball (Center of shoe laces preferred) with a very slight turning in of the foot.  
• Follow through so that non-kicking foot is lifted from the ground and player lands on kicking foot.
• Demonstrate the knee lift by striking a ball 4 or 5 times that is held in place. Knee over ball for low trajectory
• In shooting, accuracy comes first, then power 
• Use your hand for body balance

Continue practicing with ball rolling slowly toward the player, continue also kicks with one touch dribble. 

Increase difficulty by rolling ball toward side, with a bounce, receive-turn-shoot, etc.
