How to pass a soccer ball

Passing is a big part of soccer so make sure you master this key skill.

There are a few different ways to pass a soccer ball. You could use the inside or the outside of your foot, and maybe sometimes your laces.Never, ever pass or kick the ball with the front of your cleat (or your toes).Most ideal place to pass the ball is on the inside in the middle of your foot.You want to keep the ball on the ground when passing especially short distances. To do this kick the center of the ball.If you want to pass long distance and want height kick underneath of the ball.Also, make sure your other foot is planted beside the ball. This will give you better direction and will go to the person your aiming for.

Shooting the ball

Shooting the ball is a lot like passing. Except now you have a specific target to shoot at.

Before you take a shot make sure the ball is two – three feet ahead of you. It doesn’t have to be but it gives you enough space to give you power.Now run at a side ways angle towards the ball and plant the foot your not shooting with beside the ball.Get all the power to your dominant foot and get ready to shootREMEMBER TO NOT LEAN BACKNow take a shot and hopefully it goes in the net.
