The Chop


 

What you need to know

Step One: Move alongside the ball and approach the ball with a "Side-On" position. Plant the non-kicking foot alongside the ball, with the toe pointing towards the ball.  

 

Step Two: Bring the kicking over the top of the ball with the lace of the shoe facing the outside of the ball. Chop down on the outside of the ball, using the laces only. Only slight contact is made with the outside of the ball.  

 

Step Three: Spin on the non-kicking foot towards the direction of the ball. The head should be kept steady and eye's fixed firmly on the ball.
