IMPORTANT POINTS
Learning how to shoot a soccer ball doesn't have to be difficult. I've created an easy to follow step-by-step soccer shooting checklist you can use to practice, analyze, and perfect your shots.
Here is the 5 step system for how to shoot a soccer ball with power and accuracy:
Step 1: Attack the ball
Step 2: Focus (on a specific spot)
Step 3: Control your body
Step 4: Make strong impact
Step 5: Follow through
To truly understand these "how to shoot a soccer ball" principles, you will have to watch the entire shooting tutorial and take notes.
In this soccer shooting tutorial, I also go into detail about how to shoot a soccer ball with power and also how to shoot a soccer ball with accuracy.
Although you should always try to shoot with accuracy but personally when I really try to shoot with accuracy I use the inside of my foot. For that reason, the section about shooting accuracy is also a helpful explanation about how to shoot a soccer ball with curve (inside of your foot).
When I try to shoot with power, I will usually use my laces. For that reason, the section about shooting with power is actually a how to shoot a soccer ball with the laces tutorial.
This tutorial will really teach you how to shoot a soccer ball like a pro but you need to take these ideas and put them into action. I've included a small summary section half way through the video to help you remember the 5 essentials steps about how to shoot a soccer ball with power and accuracy.
Most players never learn how to kick a soccer ball properly because they never learn from their mistakes. They continue to make the same shooting mistakes again and again without analyzing their technique and making the necessary changes to improve.
You may think this is a how to kick a soccer ball for beginners tutorial but players of all ages and abilities can benefit from these steps and explanations. Regardless of your current soccer shooting ability, you should always try to improve your technique.
And you can if...
You analyze every shot and ask yourself:
"what do I need to do differently next time?"
At the end of the video, I will give you some action steps that will ensure you do a few things:
1) Remember everything you need to know about how to strike a soccer ball with quality.
2) Take daily action towards improving your shooting skills. Even if you know how to strike a football, that doesn't mean you doing what needs to be done to master the skill of shooting.
and 3) Give you a helpful resource that you can continually review and refresh your memory about how to kick a football properly.
Please share this video with anyone who wants to learn how to kick a soccer ball with power or how to kick a soccer ball with accuracy, because although I'm biased, I strongly believe this is the best soccer shooting tutorial on KZbin.
All in all...
Whether you call this beautiful game soccer or football, this tutorial will teach you how to shoot a football, become a better goal scorer, and give you more confidence in front of goal.

[@fireitup3674]

The problem is the not being able to keep a strong foot while shooting. All the power is getting absorbed by the joints (ankles and knee)

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

It comes from the flex and tension you create in your joints. Don't let the joints absorb it. They need to be the one transfering the power. Flex your entire leg, quad, knee, ankle, foot, toes!

Hey buddy I’m struggling with the locking ankle and hitting the laces area, what do you suggest?

[@andrewanderson3016]

A have a goal that I shoot on nearly every day in my backyard. It's smaller than the ones in my actual games. I've been shooting on it for about 2 years. My brother says that when I shoot in games, it goes back to what I know, the small goal, and says I should get bigger goal. But I think the small goal is good because it helps my confidence in matches and makes the other goals look huge. Should I get a bigger goal, or keep the small goal.

[@troller4life649]

It is actually better but it depends on how u Shoot too

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

Question: is it working? are you scoring goals in games? If so, then stick with it. If you're not getting the result you want, change what you are doing.

[@laibavlogs6782]

The small goal is better for aim because when I’m practicing we try shooting in a small goal for accuracy

Everyone has their own technique. What's most important is that you put the ball in the back of net. Which technique produces the best result for you? How often are you practicing shooting? Follow the advice in this video and you will improve. If you apply the action steps at the end of hte video.

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

Take some power off your shots, really get your body over the ball, hit through the center of the ball (not the bottom center), and follow through low. Think about those ideas, write them down, and go practice. Let me know if that helps.

[@anuragdhole0805]

Oh yeah! When I hit in the centre it goes really well n keeping my follow through short will also be nice.Thanx Dylan. I think practicing this with a rolling ball will be great!
