How to Shoot Precision Shots in Soccer

Precision kicking is important in soccer because it gives you the ability to control the movement of the ball as well as its placement. Using the inside of your foot and with enough power behind it, you will be able to place the ball into the goal. Ultimately soccer is about scoring goals so take the time to master this technique to become the soccer player you want to be.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Place your non-kicking foot beside the ball. Your non-kicking foot will act as an anchor and where you will place most of your weight when you go to kick the ball.

2. Brink your kicking foot in, lock your ankle and keep your toe pointed. Angle your foot to kick the ball with the inside of your foot.

3. Kick the ball with your ankle locked. The ball should strike your foot just below the anklebone. Be sure to keep your ankle locked, as this will give you the control you need to place the ball in the goal.

4. Follow through with your kick and drop back the shoulder of your kicking leg. The follow through and the dropping back of your shoulder will give you the power and precision needed to get the goal past the goalkeeper.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 to practice your precision kicking. The idea is to control the ball and its movement and to put enough force behind the kick to score a goal. The more practice you have the better soccer player you will become.
