How To Hit A Football Volley

Hi, my name is Matthew Dilworth. I am a Saturday Intermediate League goalkeeper and also run and manage my own Sunday League side, and today, I am going to take you through some football basics to help you get started. This is how to do a volley in football which is something used predominantly in attacking situation when you are having a shot on target and when the ball is in air and you are still striking it while it is in the air.

In this instance, we are going to look at the most common which is just the lacy part of the boot generating as much power as possible and try to hit the ball on target. Go and try and get your head and body still over the head so that you don't balloon it miles up in the air. In this instance, we are going to look at the volley as a short side on action when the ball is coming at you at a little bit of flatter trajectory.

The idea is to try and strike the ball while it's on the same level that it's coming in, getting yourself over it but also having yourself side on so that you are still trying to get over the ball and make sure it hits the target. .
