on 7/21/2006 We play rugby league, but the method is the same:

You must connect with the center of the ball to maximize ball compression (the sweet spot). Use at least the half way point in the kicking motion, to maximize distance, and follow through.

on 6/30/2006 Control the drop on the ball and explode your kicking foot toward the ball. Remember to follow through and keep your head down. This will enable the ball to be more accurate.
