| Bending The Shot |
From the December 6, 2006, issue of The Technical Area
This installment of the Coaching Corner comes from the new book Soccer Skills and Drills, published by Human Kinetics. It comes from Chapter 4: Shooting. For information on how to order a copy of Soccer Skills and Drills, CLICK HERE.

Purpose: To practice using bending the ball using either the inside or the outside of the instep.
Procedure: Cones are placed at an angle that requires the shooter to use either the inside or the outside of the instep. Player 1 starts outside the first cone and dribbles inside (goal side) the cone closest to the goal. This angle sets up the shooter to bend the ball from right to left, by striking the outer half of the ball with the instep. Player 2 will likewise start outside the first cone and dribble inside the cone closest to the goal. This angle sets up that player to bend the ball from left to right by striking the outer half of the ball with the outside of the instep.
Coaching Points: Any number of players can participate in the exercise and should alternate sides.
