Improve Long Passing Technique in Soccer

To hit a long pass in soccer effectively, follow these steps:

1. Body Positioning: Approach the ball at an angle with your non-kicking foot placed beside it and pointing towards your target. Lean slightly back to prepare for the kicking motion.

2. Foot Placement: Strike the center-bottom part of the ball with the laces or instep of your foot. Ensure a clean contact to generate power and accuracy.

3. Follow-through: After striking the ball, extend your kicking leg fully towards the target. Maintain balance throughout the kicking motion for accuracy and power.

4. Backspin Technique: Angle your foot slightly downward to strike the bottom half of the ball. Apply enough force to create backspin while maintaining accuracy.

5. Weight Transfer: Transfer your weight onto your non-kicking foot before striking the ball, then shift your weight forward as you follow through. Proper weight transfer helps generate power and control.

6. Consistent Practice: Practice regularly to develop consistency in executing long passes.

I used this for shooting and scored a banger from the middle of the field in tryouts!

No, both r fine depends where ur teammate is or where he's going

[PoultryfarmGuide]

Both are useful, however, the emphasis is on 'long pass' . The second will travel farthest in any situation than the first one.

I use the 2nd form to score goals from far, and i use my shin to score from midfield . The midfield comes from catching the ball in the air and shoot with power . You can achieve this with practice in my case Karate helps alot with leg movement accurately catching balls in mid air .

what's the difference between instep and inside of the foot.

[horlee]

First one is actually correct. The ball has less air time, more curve and is suitable for a winger to run.

It depends on many circumstances, but mostly yes..

[Videogames-kid]

I can be good at kick ball when I need to go far

[ruhzn]

Both are useful. Got an assist using the fitst technique

[zack]

Both are useful depending on what you're looking for.

But in ping / long pass we can use the inside part of the foot also but the main thing we have to lean back and slice it under the lower part of the football( both techniques are good but upper instep part technique will make your feet feel pain if you are not a regular user of it)❤. Enjoy the football

[Astral_xen]

Which part of the foot do we have to use?

[Dannyrecks]

Ahh I see now it makes sense thanks so much man!

[alDevo]

Depends on the type of ball you wish to play

[arnaldoneto]

I use both, you just need to know when use it

[ChrisJay-gqpq]

Please tell us how to do a knuckle ball shot😢😢😢

[tonilando]

You can absolutely use your instep for a long pass

[akashh.]

I think bruno Fernandes has got really good technique.

[tatar]

Ball must rotate backwards. Ball flies stable and it is easier to control for the recipient.

Bro it was yesterday On turkiye and the footballer Arda Guler did it the long pass but its failed.
