Soccer coaching
points:
The ball carrier should lift their
head up to see where the open goals and their team mates are.
When the ball is passed, the receiver should take a
quick "picture" of the playing area so they know who they are going to
pass to before the ball arrives.
The ball should be struck firmly and halfway up so
that
it stays on the ground.
The non-kicking foot should be pointing to where
you
want the pass to go.
A player's head and shoulders should be over the
ball when it is
struck.
