Kicking the ball Activities

Michael King

Hi I’m coaching an U9s girls team which for most of them it’s their first time playing football. I’m really trying to encourage them to kick the ball properly, they seem to grasp using the side of their foot for passing etc but seem to struggle kicking the ball when shooting because they tend to use their toe. Just wondered if there are any fun activities to encourage them so they can improve their ball kicking ability!

    hi micheal

    you could simply just try close half and full volleys this would get them used to the feeling of using the top of their foot then you could move onto short side volleys and also kicking a ball off a cone.

    pratice these movements alot and the girls will get used to the actions and feelings untill they become more natural.

    most of the time the "feel" can be more important than the technique
