| The
Push Pass |
|
| The
Push Pass is undoubtedly the most reliable
form of passing the ball on the ground
over short distances with accuracy, because
of the large surface of the shoe presented
to the ball. |
|
|
|
| Practice |
|
| From
the "base-line" between the two cones,
pass the ball firmly off the wall. Aim
at the line marked on the wall to improve
accuracy, then control the rebound efficiently
and restart. Vary this practice by first
controlling the ball before passing then
progress to first time passing. |
|
| What
you need to know |
|
-
Approach
the ball at a slight angle.
-
Place
your non-kicking foot along side
the ball, not too close that it will
prevent the natural swinging motion
of the kicking leg.
-
The
ankle of the kicking foot must be
firm.
-
Use
a slight drawback of the kicking
foot.
-
Strike
the ball with the inside of the kicking
foot through the horizontal mid-line
of the ball.
-
The
head should be kept steady and eye's
fixed firmly on the ball. The head
weighs approximately 10 pounds, so
any unnecessary tilting of the head
will affect the whole balance of
the body.
-
The
follow through is in the direction
of the intended target.
