The past two soccer shooting drills for power Online Soccer Academy videos I've done are
for soccer shooting low and hard.

Key Points: Soccer Coaching 1. Make contact with the soccer ball using
your ankle locked, toe down technique.

2.
On your follow through lift your toes ever so slightly to give the ball its height.
Normally you would shoot the ball with your toe down and hold it all the way on your follow
through.
This keeps the ball low.
In shooting for power by lifting your toes ever so slightly you will give the ball height.
Soccer Skills.
The more you lift your toes the more height you get.
3.
Before you start your run up take a mental picture of where you want the ball to go.
Then think of that image as you run up to the ball.
4.
Be confident.
Don't be surprised when you have a great shot!
Equipment Needed: How to Coach Soccer You need a few balls and a goal.
If you don't have a goal use a wall or fence.
Try not to break anything though!
Exercise Player Can Do: Soccer Drill Start off by practicing your soccer drills
for kids from a stand still without a ball.
Do this in slow motion.
Youth Soccer Drills.
Once comfortable shoot one ball at a time focusing on your technique.
Soccer Skill.
Do not rush.
This is not fitness, focus on your technique.
Once you feel good you can practice hitting a moving ball.
Simply pass the ball out in front of you a few steps and then shoot the ball on the move.
Do this until you master it or feel tired.
We are not aiming for the corners or upper 90 in this exercise.
We are just working on shooting technique for height.
Straight, hard shots with height.
What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: Coach Soccer If the ball is going over the crossbar all
the time then you are lifting your toes up to much on the follow through.
You could also be leaning back when you shoot, lean forward and stay over the ball.
If you are having problems shooting for power and want more key points on that technique
be sure and watch our Online Soccer Academy shooting videos by clicking here.
Those videos will cover a lot of what was not covered in this OSA video.
Bonus Tip!
Coaching Soccer Shooting is about technique, not swinging
for power.
Get your technique right first, then start applying more physical power and leg speed
to your swing.
