THIGH TRAP
You will soon determine the
correct height to volley the ball to
ensure the ball returns at thigh
level after one bounce.
'1' kick with the left and trap with
the right thigh '3'. Then alternate.
Control the ball on the thigh so
that you can volley the ball and
repeat the exercise.
CHEST TRAP
First use your right foot to volley the ball, bring the
ball under control using the chest then volley the
ball this time using the left foot. Then repeat. Use
both feet, control the ball on the chest '3', and then
volley the ball '1' to repeat the exercise.
TEST OF ENDURANCE
Use one leg to improve balance and
strength. Stand at point 'C' and stay on
one foot. Your kicking foot must not
touch the ground. The ball must cross
the line between points 'A' and 'B'.
See how many times you can volley the
ball between points 'A' and 'B' before
your kicking foot touches the ground.
Better performance will be achieved if
the player can incorporate rhythm and
timing into each exercise.
THE WEAKER SIDE
Work on both feet, pass with the right
foot 1 trap with left 3. Pass with the left
foot, trap with the right. Repeat.
CONTROL
Build strength and stamina with the
continuous volley routine. Volley the ball
continuously without letting the ball touch
the floor. A high level of skill and endurance
is required for this exercise.
Begin by using your right foot only.
Continue by using your left foot only.
Progress to volleys with alternate feet.
KICK AROUND THE CLOCK
Set up a ring of eight cones or similar targets
and number each one. The player must
remain in the centre of the ring. The exercise
involves shooting at each marker. The
exercise can be made even more difficult by
numbering the cones at random. The ball will
constantly return to the player which will
encourage ball control and better balance.
TARGET PRACTICE
Aim at a target, ie a post, cone, bucket,
mark on the wall. First use your instep to
pass the ball, then change and use the
outside of the foot.
GOAL
Kick the ball almost
vertically with your right
foot and then volley,
keeping the ball low with
your left.
This is good exercise to
practice in front of goal.
Imaging the ball is
dropping as from a
corner and then volley
the ball into the net. Try
10 repetitions and then
turn around and repeat
the exercise using your
left foot to kick the ball
vertically and your right
foot to volley into the net.
THE SWITCH
Kick the ball forwards and then as the ball returns use
one touch to control the ball and at the same time turn
and volley the ball in the opposite direction. Again as
the ball returns turn use one touch for control and
volley the ball in the opposite direction again. Repeat.
As the player becomes more competent with each
exercise the number of repetitions will increase.
