COACHING POINTS

Fingers spread over the front of the ball.

Drop the ball onto your foot.

Kick the ball down the line of your leg with the laces.

Strike the ball at the bottom of the ball so the ball spins backward.

When striking the head and shoulders should be over the ball.

Follow kicking leg through to ensure that there is power.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Kick Tennis - Moving net:

Split the group into three teams.

One team starts in the middle of the grid along the line. The idea of the game is to kick the ball over the middle team and try to land the ball in the oppositions area. If the ball is caught then no points are scored, if the ball bounces in the oppositions area then 1 point is scored.

If one of the players in the middle catches the ball (they gain 1 point) then they swap positions with the team that kicked the ball.

Team Kicking (Chip kick):

4 teams of 2 players, with 2 teams at each end. One player from the 1st team starts with the ball.

The player with the ball runs forward and chip kicks the ball on for their team mate to come from an on side position and recovers the ball, taking it at pace.

The player then runs on and hands the ball off the player in the next group.

The next group repeats the drill.
