In playing with the ball, it is important to achieve maximum control over it, since the point of the game is precisely to make the ball fly exactly where you direct it. How to hit the ball correctly is an important topic for every player.
Instructions
Step 1
If the ball rolls on the ground or stands still, then the position of the supporting leg and the trajectory of the kicking leg relative to the ball are also important. To control the height of a shot or pass, you need to control the position of your pivot foot in relation to the ball. By placing your pivot foot in line with it, you can make a strong hit with a low trajectory of the ball. And by placing your foot behind the ball, you can get a higher trajectory. The position of the upper body also matters - leaning backward, the ball will fly higher, and if forward, the kick will be lower and stronger. To maximize the power of the blow, the knee of the kicking leg at the moment of touching the ball must be on the same line with it or a little further, above the ball. After the strike, you must continue to move in the direction of the target.
Step 2
To hit with the inside of the foot, the supporting leg must be placed about 10 centimeters from the ball and on the same line with it. The toe of the foot of the supporting leg should be directed towards the target, and the ankle of the kicking leg at the moment of impact is turned perpendicular to the supporting leg. The blow must be carried in the central (in height) part of the ball. After hitting, you need to continue moving in the direction of the target. With a good hit, the ball should fly smoothly, without rolling on the ground or jumping.
Step 3
To strike with the outer side of the foot, the supporting leg must be placed not reaching the ball, and the toe must be turned 15-30 degrees away from the direction of the impact. This will allow you to strike accurately.
Step 4
To kick with a lift, the supporting leg must be on the same line with the ball, the toe of the foot is directed towards the target. The toes and ankle of the kicking leg at the moment of impact must be tense and fixed, the body is tilted forward so that the shoulders are above the ball. To fly at low altitude, you need to hit the center of the ball or slightly higher, the blow is made by the inner surface of the toe.
Step 5
To hit with the inner side of the foot with a twist, the supporting leg must be placed next to the ball. Her fingers should be directed either towards the target, or at a slight angle from it. The kicking foot moves in a swing and touches the ball with the top of the big toe. The kick should be applied just below the center of the ball (in height) and on the outside of the ball to give it a twist. After such a blow, you must continue to move, but not towards the target.
Step 6
To strike with the outer side of the foot with a twist, the supporting leg must be placed to the left of the ball (for a right-handed person), its fingers are directed to the target or slightly turned away from the target in the direction of the twist. The kicking foot must touch the right side of the ball with the outside of the foot. After hitting, you must continue to move in the direction of the ball flight.
Step 7
For a toe kick, place your supporting foot behind the ball, with your toes towards the target. With such a blow, the swing of the striking leg is done quickly, with a slight movement of the hip, the toes of the striking foot are raised and tense. You need to hit the bottom of the ball to give it reverse rotation and a high trajectory.
Step 8
To hit the ball in the air, it is important to quickly adjust to the trajectory of its flight - you need to be at the correct distance from the ball. Moving in short steps, you need to accurately capture the moment to strike. Attention should be focused on timing between the swing and the touch - if the moment of touch is calculated correctly, this will give sufficient strength and accuracy to the strike. If the flying ball is already too close, or vice versa, you do not reach it, you should refuse to hit from the air. The technique of the strike itself is similar to the lifting strike.
Step 9
Practicing the required hitting technique takes a lot of practice. Beginners should hit a stationary ball, while more advanced ones should practice hitting a rolling one. You also need to train different options for dribbling before hitting - the willingness to strike from any situation dramatically increases their effectiveness.
