Soccer: Dive Shot Technique - on the turn

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

Out of the turning movement you make a movement forward with your trunk bent forward.

Diving/ rolling:

1. Take off with one or two feet.

Bend forward with ankle, knee and hip, trunk bent forward, eyes to the goal.

2. After the shot both arms touch the floor because directly after the shot the landing takes place.

3. There must be a fast bending of the arm to cushion the fall, the trunk is brought forward and the head is in the neck.

4. Both legs are bent almost 90 degrees, feet upward. Slide forward on the floor when the chest touches the floor. Head in the neck.

5. Chest, belly and upper leg slide on the floor, while the arms push the body along the floor.

6. The body slides forward, while elbows and wrists are completely bent.

Feint and Throw on goal:

In this drill players receive a wide pass and then move towards the defender.

Once they're within arm's reach they should move as if they're offloading the ball across their body (so a right hander would feint the pass to the left). At the same time they they should drop their left shoulder to make the move more convincing.

After doing this the attacker should quickly shift their weight and push off their left foot to explode in the opposite direction and run around the right of the defender.

The Far Jump Shot:

As players run up to where they are going to throw from they should bring the ball up to shoulder height.

The first step in the 1-2-3 pattern should be made with the foot they are going to jump with (so for right handed players this should be their left foot and for left-handed players vice versa).

The third step should be explosive and powerful.

In the air player's hip should go backward at the same time and in the same direction as the throwing arm.

Pull up other leg until upper leg is parallel with the other leg.

Screw back the hip and the arm should follow this movement explosively to the front.
