Instead,
take advantage of the resources linked at the end of this post. These resources are the best of what is out
there. These resources contain
professional trainers and skilled players correctly demonstrating (often in
slow-motion) the techniques you want to learn.
The purpose
of 1v1 Soccer is to show parents how to modify effective soccer instructional
resources for home use. By applying
these resources in the myriad of different ways demonstrated on this site, you

There is a soccer training DVD called
Blast The Ball which is included with the Soccer University DVD training
series. Blast The Ball covers nearly
every element of a correct soccer kick. I
strongly recommend this purchasing and reviewing this DVD to develop and master
the various components of properly kicking a soccer ball.
An Inside Foot Kick/Pass involves kicking the ball with the inside of your foot. This is the easiest kick to learn.
The Inside Foot Low Driving Air Kick/Pass is another basic soccer kick. It involves using the Inside Foot to kick a low driving ball in air in a specific direction. It allows you to kick with power, but is still easy to learn and control. This kick demands striking through the center of the ball, opening up your shoulders a bit, and a normal follow through.
An Inside Foot Low Driving Air Pass/Kick – Stationary Ball involves learning how to properly kick a ball that is not moving in the air with power using the inside foot. A stationary ball allows you to focus exclusively on learning proper technique rather than worry about additional elements connected to a moving ball.
The Inside Foot Low Driving Air Kick/Pass – Forward Incoming Ball technique involves learning how to use the Inside Foot to properly kick a ball that is moving towards you and drive it with power in the air.
The Inside Foot Low Driving Air Kick/Pass – Side Incoming Ball/Side Across Body Incoming Ball techniques involve learning how to use the Inside Foot to properly kick a ball along that is moving towards you from the side and drive it with power in the air. Both of these kicks are great finishing moves in front of the goal.

1v1 Soccer received an amusing comment regarding this video. I have summarized the questions/comments below and answered them.
ReplyDeleteCOMMENT - You admittedly know NOTHING about football and insist on doing these drills with your daughter.
ANSWER - I have a deep understanding of technique, which is the focus of this site. I do not personally teach technique on this site because you would be better off using professionally created videos demonstrating techniques in slow motion.
Avery's technique is this video is solid. Not perfect, but solid.
COMMENT - Low Driving Air Kick? What is that?
ANSWER - There are several types of kicks you can execute with the Inside Foot including a Ground Kick, Long Air Kick (topspin), Low Driving Air Kick (knuckleball), and High Soft Air Kick (backspin). Each has different uses and demands striking the ball in a different location to execute. The first two kicks are the ones I believe are appropriate for U11.
These first two basic kicks should be learned as early as U6 or U7. Yet watch most any youth soccer game, including Division 1 teams, and you will observe youth who do not know how to kick a soccer ball correctly.
COMMENT - You should look into Coerver Coaching classes.
ANSWER - I use and recommend Coerver resources all over my site. However, I am not aware of Coerver resources which teach proper kicking technique.
The resource I recommend for kicking is Blast The Ball. It is a 2-hour DVD dedicated solely to proper kicking technique. Kicking a soccer ball correctly is difficult and many/most youth are never taught how to do it properly.
COMMENT - This is not helping your daughter.
ANSWER - Avery is playing on a competitive team in our state's strongest U11 division (Premiere). Avery is not very strong, or fast, or tall, and yet is being successful. Her superior technique is what enables her to compete. It is the one edge she has over her opponents who are superior athletes.
