FC Lions COVID Training, Crossing and Curving the Ball

5/24/2020

0 Comments

 
As promised, this week we are working on crossing and curving the ball.
  • Conditioning exercises are below. Do 2-3 sets of the exercises. Here is Coach William demonstrating the exercises for this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsbZiuofk
    • Jogging for 10-15 minutes minimum
    • Seated knee tucks (10-15 per set)
    • Supermans (10-15 per set)
    • Walking lunges (10-15 per set)
    • Dead Bugs (15-20 seconds)
    • Plank Pikes (15-20 seconds)
  • Coach Brice's tips for crossing and curving the ball: This technique can be used when you are on the wing, trying to cross it to your teammate to finish, for corner kicks, or for free kicks.
    • Place the ball on the ground
    • Take 3-6 steps back
    • Lead with your left foot first, if you are right footed.
    • Move towards the ball and strike it with the inside foot, toes up
  • Check out these videos of the pros for good examples:
    • Pros practice crossing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl-38lB1Lqc
    • Lionel Messi free kick details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN13MaNSMts
    • Free kick goals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAGUdIRWOxQ

Have a great week, and #GoFCLions! Next week we will do long balls, which are different than curving.

FC Lions COVID Training, Shooting with Inside Foot

5/17/2020

0 Comments

 
We are going to work on shooting with your inside foot. Next week we will work on crossing and curving the ball.
  • Conditioning exercises. I have been hearing that many players are doing these as a family. Feel free to do this with siblings or your parents! These are some exercises I am doing myself at home:
    • 10-15 minutes jogging minimum
    • Conditioning exercises - do 2-3 sets (feel free to do more)
      • 10-15 jumping jacks
      • Side lunges 20-30 seconds 
      • Knee hugs 10-15 seconds 
      • Lunge twists 10-15 seconds per side (older kids and parents can use a weight if you want)
      • Plank shoulder taps 10-15 seconds 
  • Instructions for shooting with your inside foot:
    • It's basically the same technique as passing, just with more power.
    • Keep your eye on the ball and your toes up.
    • Look to where you want the ball to go.
    • Kick the ball like you are making a pass with your inside foot, but harder, and aiming towards the goal.
    • Lock your ankle when you connect with the ball.
    • Feel free to use a wall to practice the technique.
  • Here is another passing demonstration. You can use this to practice shooting with the same technique:

  • Here are some great examples from the pros. Most pros use this technique when they take penalty kicks or when they are inside the box:
    • Eden Hazard penalty:

    • Jorginho's penalty:
