Soccer Techniques

In soccer, there are known kick techniques. Players (especially beginner), usually find some difficuties to kick the ball, especially from far distance and they confuse how to determine right position to kick.

Now, I'll explain about kick techniques.
- Body position
If we kick with left leg, we must take body's right position.
If we kick with right leg, we must take body's left position.
The purposes is to make easy for find a space and direct the kick better.

Steps to kick:
Turn your body for a little before doing kick, so you can kick more accurate and can do "banana kick". Then, use your middle sole with much power so your kick can fly up.

Suggestion, practice to adjust the power and accuration. Practice:
- Rope jump
- Jump other player (player bows his self-body and we jump over the player)
- Kick practice
- Split, etc (warming)

There are some kind of kick techniques:
1. Groin technique

Groin technique is a technique that pass the ball between the two legs player space. We must make opponent confuse so we can do this technique.

- Use deceive movement. Your foot step over the ball. With this technique, opponent's concentration will be interrupted. So, there's a space between opponent's groin, and pass the ball between them.

-Or, drive the ball to the right/left slowly. The opponent will follow our movement. Wait for the right time, when opponent groin's opened, direct the ball between opponent's groin and run after the ball.

2. Kick technique using sole edge.

In this technique, we learn how to make the ball difficult to reach by the goalkeeper.
There are the steps:

a. We must take the right position for kick, don't take too right or too left, because it's a deceive kick.

b. Drive the ball from the middle position, don't drive from edge side.

c. Back the ball using top edge sole to goalpost, so the ball will spin fast and difficult to reach by goalkeeper.

d. There's a chance, the ball spin fast but just roll to the goalpost. If you want the ball faster and flying up, use alittle of power leg and kick the ball in the bottom of ball.

3. Kick over the keeper's technique

First way: When the ball is ours and face one on one with opponent keeper, what must we do? Especially if the keeper is too forward from the goal post. So, try to make a distance between you and the keeper, and concentrate with your ball so you don't lose contol the ball. After that, kick the ball with top sole. Don't kick the ball powerfully, just fly forward the ball slowly over the keeper. The keeper can't handle it, the ball will flying up highly and will come inside goal post.

Second way: if the ball is equally high with our knee, don't kick powerfully, just kick slowly and flying up forward highly using middle sole. Kick in the bottom ball when the ball isn't yet bounce down to ground. To do it better, just relax so you can estimate the distance between you and keeper.

MISTAKES in KICK TECHNIQUE

There are so many reason, such as clumsy or even too energetic and hurriedly kick when the ball comes. That's wrong.
There is wrong leg's position:
- Kick the ball using top sole powerfully. That's never satisfied result. The right way is take the right position and using the middle sole or edge sole.

Suggestion, player must practice kicking and patience, so the player doesn't make the wrong kick.
