PROGRESSION II

Clearly practice is needed and there are various stages to progress with kicking with the inside of the foot, when the ball is in the air.

Practice 1

Player (A) stands 10 metres away from player (B) (server). (B) throws, and the ball has to bounce twice before (A) plays it with the inside of the foot back to (B).

Practice 2

Three players (A), (B) and (C) around 6 metres apart


Diagram 1

 

(B) serves (direct) to (A), and before the ball bounces he plays it with the inside of the foot to (C).

(C) can alter his position, so (A) has practice at laying the ball off at different angles.
(B) too can adjust his position to serve)

(A) must be on his toes waiting for service, and coaches should ensure the player waiting to receive is not flat-footed.
 
Practice 3

Diagram 2
 
(A) initially stands 5 metres away from the wall (or board)


(A) has to throw the ball against the wall and allowing it to bounce once before playing it back with the inside of the foot, and so the practice goes on, with (A) playing continuously the ball back to the wall - USING BOTH FEET

After a while, (A) can increase the distance from the wall to 10 metres - back to (A2) in diagram (2).
