How To Shoot A Soccer Ball With Power And Accuracy From Far

Check out my other pages:

In this video, we go over how to shoot a soccer ball with power and accuracy from far away. When I say far away, I mean at least 18 yards away from goal. In most cases farther than that.

This is an incredibly important skill to develop because it will allow you to score more goals or take more chances which will in the end, help you and more importantly, your team.

Make sure you like and share this video. The more likes and shares we get the more the video gets spread around which helps me to continue to create content.

At Simply Soccer I work hard and diligently to create videos that will help you Improve Your Game and Stand Out On The pitch. I want to make you the best player on your team. Apply what I show you and I promise you that you will see yourself getting much, much better!

I learnt this technique myself, And trust me it’s effective and satisfying

Just another tip... place your standing foot around 5 to 7 inches from the ball and point it towards your target area, as you run up to kick it, run up in long strides instead of a short run burst to generate more momentum as you kick it and remember to try and not over extend your kicking leg as you kick, think of it as a boxer throwing a quick direct instead of an uppercut... Another thing with long shots is that you actually should try and generate some spin on the ball unless you can generate enough power to beat the goal keeper by the sheer speed of the ball which is a skill rarely mastered by anyone let alone young newcomers, power means nothing against a keeper with good positioning and reflexes.... there is also the flat kick technique which sees you kick the ball using the top of your boot where your laces would be on a normal sneaker, generally the same way as this video shows, except you're kicking trough the ball directly instead of using the side of your foot, using the above mentioned techniques I described with this kind of kick will generate allot of power when kicking outside of cca 20-25 yards... good luck all

PS- read up on physics...it helps with all areas of the game

Wow the first kick I did with the technique was top 90. Thank you :)

importnant tip:
after i watched this video i realised something really important to do when kicking the ball. i wasnt generating a good amount of power through my kick, my shots werent even leaving the ground but its because i was trying to use my leg muscles to kick the ball too much you have to use the momentum that generates in your hips when you are running at the ball and when you stop suddenly you should let the momentum carry thwards you ankle and make you do like a whipping motion and your knee joint should be kinda loose

Man's tapping it and it's going like 10000km/h

[legalizedtaco]

Dude you opened my eyes on how to hit the ball 😭😭😭😭

[irfandharma]

Out ow 10, 000 + videos I have watched to learn how to hit a power shot, this is the video finally showed me and changed my entire football life. “Lock
The ankle and genarate the power “, this “lock the ankle” part was the missing part I had entire my life. I have been playing soccer since I was 16 and sometime people Called me Maradona when I carry the ball between all
The opposite players, but it was a secret about me that I cannot take a power shot or penalty shot no matter how much I tried. I was shy to ask from teammates as I was good in soccer (without the power kick part). As soon as I watched this video, I took the ball out and practiced to lock the ankle, instead of using entire leg to swing, boom, what an amazing shot I took. I felt to cry as I learned this on my 41st birthday. I
Really appreciate for this video and finally I can kick to the ball

[chriswysocki]

Thanks. That was useful. But I've noticed that most coaches forget about one major thing: remember to really bend the knee when winding up the swing to shoot. Many players, including my early years, have a tendency to keep the leg too straight when winding up for the shot and do not get the benefit of the knee-straightening muscles; you also lose the foot velocity that comes from the COMBINED swiveling (rotational speed) at the pelvis and knee

[aramrodriguez]

Thank you so much for this video. My accuracy has sky rocketed and now I can knuckle the ball.

[Desiree-xthl]

I'm literally starting my first soccer practice next week and I'm super excited ☺️ all your videos are super helpful thanks so much this really inspired me to give it my all on the field and to succeed on what I'm doing on the field.

[Wowwowman]

You have
Internally taught me how to shoot so much better I can’t thank you enough I used to curve left everytime but now it’s in the corners or middle now Thankyou so much

[xgaming]

Thanks man, before watching this video I always toe punted the ball, and it always went where I didn't want it to go

[MrJeykon]

Wow. You really don't use much power to shoot the ball so far.
I think i need to optimise my techniques.
I changed the Team and the coach changed my position from defender to center-forward so i have to learn some good striker skills and tricks. Your Videos are very usefull for this.
Thanks from Germany

[hayley]

This is the one thing in soccer I never got the hang of. Thank you so much for this video.

[ericxie]

Awesome and in-depth explanation in this video bro! Pretty much reveal the truth of shooting. Take a close look at 0:45 and 0:49, two sick knuckleballs in a row!

[jameslittle]

This video actually helped me a lot I’m already seeing improvements thank you I got my NAIG tryouts this weekend and I’m super excited and really wanna make the team for a chance to play in B.C. Sometime next year.

Update: I made it to the final tryout out of 45 men 25 got chosen for the final tryout then 18 out of those 25 will make the team let’s

[leonardorlm]

This really helped out especially when you went note in depth on where to hit it

Another tip is to always have your toe pointed down when shooting with any technique

[diamonddemona]

This really opened up my eyes imma try this tmr cause when ever I hit the ball it’s weak and there’s no accuracy

[agia]

Instead of your big bone, you can also use your laces, it still generates power. Good vid bro! The locked ankle really helped me I wasn't finding many tutorials to the 'definition' of locked ankle, so thanks a lot man!

Cheers, keep up the hard work!

[neelamshrivas]
