|
Steps: |
| 1.
|
Understand that a 'chip' is when
the football travels in a tall arc. Usually a quick kick is used to
send the ball up and over a short distance, rather than in a long,
soaring flight. |
| |
| 2.
|
Approach the football at a slight
angle. |
| |
| 3.
|
Place your non-kicking foot
approximately 6 inches to the side of the ball and slightly behind it.
|
| |
| 4.
|
Take a back swing with your kicking
leg, keeping in mind that a shorter back swing will allow you more
control and better placement. |
| |
| 5.
|
Angle your toe down - imagine your
foot to be wedgelike - as you make contact with the ball below its
centre. |
| |
| 6.
|
Lean your body back as you kick to
increase the lift of the ball. The farther you lean back, the greater
the ball's arc. |
| |
| |
|
Tips: |
| |
A proper chip should have backspin,
which makes it easy for your teammate to control. A ball spinning
backward is less likely to run away from the receiver once contact is
made. |
| |
| |
Use a chip as a shot on goal if you
wish. If the goalkeeper has come out to cut down the angle of your
shot, chipping the ball over his head is a good technique for scoring
a goal. |
| |
| |
Be comfortable chipping with both
feet, and chipping dead balls as well as moving ones. |
| |
| |
Chipping
vs. lifting
Chipping a ball is using your foot as a
wedge to strike the ball low with the toe of the striking foot
contacting the ball low imparting arc and backspin. The knee is locked
at impact.
Lifting the
ball at rest is accomplished by placing the toes of the striking foot
as close as possible to the bottom of the ball, sliding the foot under
the ball, and lifting the ball up and out with the instep of the foot.
As the ball is lifted up he knee straightens to direct or loft the
ball in the desired direction.
