Team Kicking (Chip kick) | Kicking

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.

    Kick From Hands:

    Kicking from hands requires the player to kick the ball before it bounces, unlike a drop kick. 1 ball, cones to give areas for scoring games etc.

    Spiral Kick:

    • The aim of the drill is to develop the spiral kick.

    Kick Tennis - Moving net | Kicking

    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.
