12-18 Ball Striking- Shooting
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 11:10AM The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

Today's ball strkining was all about repition and creating the proper shooting techique. We did a basic shooting progression that all the girls have done before. What is amazing, is that by spending just 20 minutes on their technique how much it improves. By the end of the session a handful of girls were able to shoot the ball with no spin. We call that a knuckle ball.
For the first 20 minutes we did everything against the wall so repetitions would be high. We progressed by going half speed working on different aspects of shooting technique.
-Keeping your toe pointed through the shot
-Following through and getting your body to come through the ball
-Power step. Explode into the shot
Then we opened it up and went to goal. We went very simple. Just take one touch and shoot.
