    Step 1

    Set up the football for a kickoff. Position the football on the tee almost perpendicular to the ground, but angled slightly toward you.

    Step2

    Set up a field goal attempt, if you are looking to score. Have the holder kneel on the opposite side of the ball from where you'll be running, and place the football with the laces forward (away from you) and the ball almost perpendicular to the ground, but angled slightly toward you, the kicker. The holder should place either his palm or the tips of his index and middle fingers on top of the ball, gently applying pressure to hold it in place.

    Step3

    Take three steps back. If you kick with your left foot, take two and a half steps to the right. If you kick with your right foot, take two and a half steps to the left.

    Step4

    Run toward the ball, starting with the foot you won't be kicking with.

    Step5

    Plant your nonkicking leg firmly about 1 foot to the side of the ball, your foot pointing in the direction in which you want the ball to go (between the goal posts, for example, or straight down the field for a kickoff).

    Step6

    Power through the ball with your kicking foot, making contact about one-third of the way above the ball's lower tip. For maximum distance, kick with the top two inner shoelace holes of your shoe.

    Step7

    Follow through as much as your flexibility will allow.

    My extreme college did no longer start up soccer till 2002. interior the 1st actual game, they performed a set with an all-state kicker who have been given a attempt-out with the Bears final summer season. The warring parties lined up for a fifty two backyard field objective; everybody scoffed, like yeah somewhat he's going to try this? He nailed it with room to spare. there's a stadium record that may no longer liable to ever be broken. That pronounced, an familiar field objective in extreme college would be stressful to foretell. maximum colleges don't have a kicker that they could experience delicate with kicking from extra advantageous than 30 yards. and a lot of kicks get blocked, if no longer outright neglected. extra factors, i've got seen, are an experience - and that they are in basic terms 19 yards. i've got seen a lot of faculties that decide for 2 on maximum extra factors because of the fact of it. the familiar, then? possibly approximately 25 yards.

    you can ask your holder to til the ball a little so you can get under it, nd also trying hitting the ball a little lower, look t the middle the fat part then aim a little below the middle, where it's lower but still the fatter side, and swing your leg up more.
