How To Kick A Soccer Ball

How to kick a soccer ball. In this video, we are going to focus on short kicks, mainly the pass. There are 3 traditional ways to pass a soccer ball - with the inside of your foot, the outside of your foot and with the laces.

Step one: With the inside of your feet, this is mainly used for accuracy and passing. You need to practice both of your feet because if the defender is closing you down on your preferred side and you need to pass the ball, you need to be able to do it with both your right and your left foot. Step two: Look at the ball, get close to it, strike the ball with the side of your foot and follow it through in the direction you want it to go.

Step three: The outside of your foot. You mainly use the inside of your foot when you're doing passing but you also use the outside. Remember to use the same principles and really follow through with the kick.

Step four: With the laces. Now, you mainly use this when you're trying to lift the ball or kick the ball hard but when you use it for passing, remember to put your body over the ball, lean over it so it doesn't leave the ground. And that is how you kick a soccer ball.
