Take a look inside:
Hitch Kick/Bicycle: Expand Your Shooting Range
To do this, jump up off your soon-to-be shooting foot. With the opposite leg, forcefully bring your non-shooting leg upward, bringing you higher off the ground. Now, with the ball high off the ground, strike it like a volley.
Crosses: Set the Table for scoring
This ball should be, once again, outside the goalkeeper’s range and ideally four to 10 yards off the goal line. This gives a great opportunity for a teammate to make a run to the far post and strike the ball hard toward the net.
Working the Ball Out of the Back
When a team wants to keep position, they start by working the ball out of the back. Too many times, players think that working it out of the back only involves the goalkeeper and the defenders. But working it out of the back is really an 11-person activity—one that begins with the backs and the goalkeeper.
