Strike a stationary ball cleanly with the laces for a low, driven shot on target.
Balls placed 15-25 yards from goal; clear approach lane, 4-step run-up.
- Place balls at various distances from goal (15-25 yards)
- Approach the ball at a slight angle
- Plant your non-kicking foot beside the ball
- Strike through the center of the ball with your laces
- Follow through with your kicking leg toward the target
- Focus on keeping the ball low and on target
- Plant foot lands beside the ball, knee over the ball at contact
- Ankle locked, laces driving through the centre of the ball
- Ball stays below crossbar and on target
- Full follow-through with the kicking leg pointing at the target
- Leaning back at contact — ball flies high and over the bar
- Toe-poking instead of striking with the laces
- Plant foot too far behind or ahead of the ball
- No follow-through — kicking foot stops at the ball
