How to Do a Drop Kick as a Goalie

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Chris Murray and I'm going to show you how to dropkick a soccer ball as a goalie. Being the goalkeeper there are many different ways to kick the ball out of your hands. One way to kick the ball is to dropkick. Many goalkeepers like to dropkick the ball because it allows them to be more accurate. Also when you dropkick the ball, it doesn't go so high in the air and it could also go further. Because it's not going so high in the air it can drop while on the line, and be able to travel further down the field. The more accurate the goalkeeper is when he dropkicks a soccer ball is very good. In order to dropkick the soccer ball the goalkeeper starts with the ball in his hands. He drops the ball, and as the ball comes back up, he kicks it off the bounce. So if I was to drop the soccer ball, I would kick the ball as it came back up off the bounce. Being able to do this and time the ball right can ensure you that you kick the ball at its best point. By hitting the ball in the middle can allow it to go as further - as far as possible. Again, when I drop the soccer ball I hit it in the middle so it could travel the furthest. And that's how you dropkick your soccer ball as a goalie."
