Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• soccer ball
• shoes preferably soccer boots
• soccer field or park

1. Place the ball on the ground. And stand approx 4-5 strides away from the ball. you want to be standing on 45 degree angle to where you are kicking the ball

2. As you run up to trick the ball remember to accelerate as this will give more power.

3. As you approach the ball plant your non kicking foot next to the ball approx 3/4 of a foot away.

4. Now with your kicking foot bring it back. As you contact the ball it's important that you hit the outer edge of the ball. not the center of the ball. This will put spin on the ball creating low pressure areas on the ball allowing to swing in the air

5. after contact make sure you follow through to have increased accuracy and power
