How to Kick an In Swerve in Soccer

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Jyler Noviello, and I'm going to teach you how to kick an in swerve in soccer. When playing soccer, there's a couple different reasons why you would have to use an in swerve kick. One would be crossing the ball and keeping it away from the goalkeeper. As you're out on the wing and you want to cross the ball to one of your teammates, it's important to keep the ball away from the goalie. So kicking it with an out swerve can prevent the goalie from coming out and catching the ball. When kicking an out swerve, you want to put your plant foot by the ball, and you want your foot to use your instep; your kicking foot to use your instep, and come around the ball as you kick it. You would also use an out swerve in soccer for shooting. If the goalie is coming out at you and you want to kick the ball around him, it would be very easy to just place the ball around him using an out swerve kick, curving the ball around him and into the net. You would use the same technique as you would for a cross, only you're shooting the ball at goal. And that is how to do an out swerve in soccer."
