Step One: Watch the flight of the ball carefully. On the approach, the player must step into the ball with the non-kicking foot. The head should be kept steady and eyes fixed firmly on the ball. When using the half volley shot,
the player should allow the ball to hit the ground for a fraction of a second.
Step Two: As the ball rises from the ground, approximately 4 inches, the ball is struck through the horizontal
mid-line. Contact with the kicking foot is made with the laces and the foot should be fully extended down.
Step Three: The power of the shot comes from a stabbing action from the knee and not the hip.
