Run up to the ball and kick using goal shot technique so the ball goes into the goal at one of the four corners. Place the soccer ball 24 to 30 feet away from the goal. As you improve your accuracy and control, gradually narrow the gap between the two cones until they’re only one to two feet apart. Practice kicking the ball with the right and left foot. If you have a partner, kick the ball back and forth to each other. Kick the ball using chip shot technique so it hits the wall in between the two cones and returns to you. If you’re kicking to a teammate, have them stand 60 to 90 feet away from you. Place two cones right next to the wall, about 9 to 12 feet apart.

The only way to get better at kicking is to practice. Practice so you can learn how much force to use. You want to apply force so the ball gets off the ground, but not so much force that it goes too high and flies over the goal. Lean your torso forward slightly as you kick to keep the ball from going too high. Bend the kicking leg and kick so the laces at the top of your shoe hit the middle of the ball. The toes of your kicking foot should be pointed down. When you kick, scoop the foot underneath the ball to kick with the inside of your foot and lean backward slightly to help get the ball in the air. Point the toe down on the kicking foot and bend the kicking leg so the foot hits the very bottom of the ball. Run up to or step next to the ball so the inside of your kicking foot is right beside the ball. If you’re making contact with the bottom of the ball, adjust your foot position. Aim to hit the middle of the ball with the inside of the foot. Lean forward slightly and engage your ankle to swing the foot (not leg) through the ball while keeping the ankle locked in place.
