Toe Poker

Steve Wall

Hi we have an 8 year old who is struggling with his striking technique, basically he is toe poking everything which is quite effective close in on goal, but it doesnt work from any sort of distance. It is early days on trying to improve his technique, but any advise would be great. Thanks.

    Its really common especially for those youngsters that havent played that much football as its the easiest part of the foot to kick the ball with.

    As you say it can be really effective, but repetitions of touching the ball with a different part of the foot can help.

    lots of walking with the ball passing it side to side between the youngsters feet

    lots of rebound passing off a board or a wall

    untill they get used to the feeling of touching it with a different part of the foot, they will keep doing it

    all the best
