Step One: Approach the ball straight on. This will assist in the natural swinging motion of the kicking leg.
The head should be kept steady and eyes fixed firmly on the ball. Plant the non-kicking foot along side and parallel with the ball. Do not position the non-kicking foot too close to the ball as to interfere with the natural swinging
motion of the kicking leg. Raise the kicking foot over the top of the ball to disguise your intentions. Continue over
the ball and make contact on the front of the ball with the heel.
Step Two: The ball should be struck through the center and on the horizontal mid-line of the ball. Withdrawal from the kicking leg comes from the hip as well as the knee.
Step Three: The follow through is short and continues slightly through the ball into the direction of the intended target.
