Youth Soccer Drills & Skills : How to Kick a Soccer Ball

Soccer drill to teach the Ronaldo ‘chop’
Help your players fool their opponents and open up space by teaching them Ronaldo’s chop to the side and a clever stepover or step across move.
- Start your players off learning the Ronaldo chop with a soccer coaching drill using a static ball. Tell them to jump and flick the ball with their right heel past the back of their left leg, so they change the direction of the ball with the back leg.
- Once they have mastered the soccer drill with a static ball, get them to try the same move running towards a defender and just before they reach him, come from behind with their right heel to move left and leave a bemused defender in their wake.
Key soccer coaching tip: Your players must practise this soccer drill at home to be able to use this skill at speed.
- Get your players to control the ball moving towards the defender at speed.
- Quick feet are needed to get the ball in position to chop it with the heel of the right foot.
- Tell them to jump up moving left foot over ball and flick it with heel of right foot.
- Then surge forward into the space created.
Stepover skill
Stepovers are like any soccer skill and they need a lot of practice so if your players are going to do them, make sure they go home and have a ball stuck to their foot all week.
Done properly they can send an opponent in the opposite direction, immediately producing two precious assets – space and time.
Coach your players to begin with the simplest step over. Tell them to shape as if they are going to strike the ball, but lift that foot over the top of the ball instead.
1. Make sure the ball is moving so start dribbling slowly.
2. Circle the left foot anti-clockwise by bringing the left foot across the right foot and around the ball without touching the ball.
3. Dip the left shoulder to angle the body so it looks like the player will move that way.
4. Use the outside of the right foot to take the ball past the defender on the other side.
Once you can do one then practise bringing your right foot around the ball clockwise, and build up to do two or three in a row.
About the Author
what is the drills for playing forward in soccer and how to become the best striker ?
i am a youth player i need the trainings from zero becuse i am new to forward position in soccer . our team were play a match and i receve a ball in front of the gool in 18 yard and i shot it on the ground on the keeper and he catch it very very easy. give me a web site or any thing that i could learn the basics of striker . Do a need vision because i did’t see the keep at that moment.
watching videos of great strikers also helps…
try to watch the game of Ronaldo, the real Brazilian one..he depended on his speed as much as he depended on his dribbling skills during his prime to finish of the hardest of the moves with relative ease..
even better, watch Romario..i am afraid you will never be as good as this Brazilian, but still pay attention to his cold-bloodedness in the finishing area and how he gives more attention to positioning and placement of the ball rather than the brainless attempt that most strikers of today make (no disrespect to Drogba, Forlan, Eto’o and such)
or if you want sheer power with great technique in the finishing, watch Van Basten and Gabriel Batistuta…2 great strikers of the ninetees…the first one was must more technical in his finishing while the latter one had outstanding power on his shots that were unbelievably accurate….u hear the chants “Batigoal Batigoal” still today in Florence, with the great Argie’s statue right outside the Fiorentina FC stadium
Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
