🔥 SHOOTING WITH POWER is a skill every young player wants to master and it starts with the right technique.
One of the simplest ways to help children strike the ball cleanly and powerfully is by encouraging them to use their laces.
Here’s what else to focus on when coaching children to strike the ball with power:
Strike through the ball — Encourage them to hit the ball with the top of their foot (the laces), not the toe or inside. This gives a cleaner, stronger contact.
Position their standing foot next to the ball — This helps with balance and direction. Make sure the toe of the standing foot points towards the target.
Follow through on the same foot they strike with — The momentum should carry their kicking foot forward, helping generate power and accuracy.
When kids understand these simple points, they start to see real improvements in how far and how accurately they can strike the ball.
Try breaking it down step-by-step in training, so they can build confidence and muscle memory.
Power isn’t just about kicking it as hard as you can, it’s about striking the ball with technique, balance, and control.
