SHOOTING WITH INSTEP FOR STRIAGHT OR BENDING BALLS
It is important to remember the physics of the driven instep shot. We spend enless hours teaching this skill to our players at training and camp.
1. Strike the ball with the top lower few inside laces. This is a very boney part of the foot and provides the most force.
2. Strike through the center of the ball for the straight driven shot that dips at the end
2b. Strike through the inner half of the center of the ball for the bending or banana shot.
3. Support leg is even with ball but a little away from it. This distance is different for every player, but essentially it is the players length of leg from the ankle to the knee. TO FIND THE DISTANCE STAND OVER BALL AND DROP SUPPOORT LEG DOWN, MOVE SUPPORT FOOT TO SIDE OF BALL UNTIL IT COMES DOWN ON MIDDLE OF THE TOP OF THE BALL
.
4. Follow the foot through the center of the ball and keep the foot low and follow through over the opposite foot.
[i]5. Exhale air from your mouth like blowing a balloon upon contact.[/i]
I LEARNED ALL OF THIS ON THE TRAININING GROUNDS OF EC VITORIA, PROFESSIONAL FIRST DIVISION CLUB IN SALVADOR, BRASIL.

I can certainly help you present them on the web. By the way, have you checked out our coaching website yet at www.soccerinteractive.com. It is currently free and you have to register seperately from the community but will be going to subscription shortly. It offers age appropriate curriculum with Video and animation as well as printable. In the near future we will be offering a service to associations, clubs and coaches to build their own online curriculums using both our library and one they create themselves. We also have the Exercise Planner that allows you to create branded Exercises with graphics, you can then print as a PDF form and even add your own logo. Soon, when you create your own library of exercises, you can then build an exercise with a web page, graphics, a pdf form an even add your own photo, graphic or video to it. Pretty exciting stuff.
Tony DiCicco and his SoccerPlus FC club is going to be the first to use to to build the "DiCicco Method" and deliver it online via Soccer Interactive to their club customers.
Cheers

Hi Apostoli,
have you considered video taping you demonstrating this? It does not have to be professional quality video, just clear and easy to understand and you can then post it on the community and easily share the video player on any website you want?
cheers
Tim
