How To Drop Kick? |

[@tigerlama2484]

Thanks bro can’t kick to save my life lol but my daughter has taken up 7s and is kicking ok but all natural skill. Can’t wait to show her this video so she can improve every drop kick and not just kick and hope👍

[@rugbybricks]

Awesome to hear! We need more girls kicking from a young age so well done on getting your daughter on the right track. Thanks! Pete

[@daviddanby4335]

hey mate just want to say thank you so much for a detailed description as mainly i am the drop kicker in my team but recently my technique has gone a bit weird and as i have some big games coming up (potential scouting for me) it has really helped me improve and get more height on the ball, you probably won't see this as the video was made long ago but thanks i love your educational videos keep it up

[@pure9856]

How did the games go?

Thanks for such a positive and awesome message David! I am so happy you found value in this video and that it has been put to good use! Keep Kicking. Pete

I'm a kicker in (American) football who's playing rugby for the first time. Thanks for the vid

[@rugbybricks]

Magic! Time to put in the work.

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

A great video and really good coaching. My only addition is something I took from a Dan Carter video - sometimes it is better to hold the ball lower i.e. at thigh height rather than belly height so the ball doesn't have so far to drop.

[@rugbybricks]

Thanks, like that coaching cue - whatever can help get the job done! Pete

[@prestongames-w1r]

I didn't know how to do a drop kick but when i watch your video i learnt how to do a drop kick

[@rugbybricks]

Nice, whats your favourite drop kick? Height or Distance? Pete

Happy to help, welcome! Pete

this helped me alot, now i can look so cool ‼️

[@sing_cycle_referee]

This is brilliant! One question for a soft England pitch drop kicker where the ground doesn't give you that high bounce. Any way to generate that height with a lower bouncing drop?

[@rugbybricks]

Yea thats rough! No bounce makes it very hard. Pete

[@rogerjackson7318]

Drop kick does NOT need to bounce. In fact, the higher you let ball bounce, the more your kick will skew. Drop the ball as the coach showed, but time your leg swing, so that you are contacting the ball at the precise moment the ball hits the ground. No bounce needed. A couple of practise sessions, and you'll be a pro!

[@darealsherlock8026]

Should one kick from the side of the foot or the top? I see that you go with the top of the foot, but that leads to a really high ball. What about a starting kick, where you would like a really flat kick?

[@rugbybricks]

The foot knuckle, on the laces.

[@darealsherlock8026]

@@rugbybricks Thanks.

[@Buzz-f3r]

For me, my only problem is consistency. Especially when the ground isn't flat.

[@rugbybricks]

Yes is can be hard playing on grounds that are muddy or uneven. Best you can do is ground check before kick off's and if it is an in game drop kick try get on the ball slighter earlier if you cannot trust the ground. Pete

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

Oh my god yes I have to kick super early as soon as it hit’s the floor because my field near me is unbelievably uneven 😂 I might have to find a nicely cut field for my next practice just to see the distance.

[@NoahMckeon222]

I have a rugbybricks kicking tee it is brilliant

[@NoahMckeon222]

Rubber btw

[@octopusfly]

Solid technique! Now, I've got to practice!

[@rugbybricks]

Thanks Robert, how are your drop kicks going now? Pete

[@octopusfly]

@@rugbybricks Cheers, Pete! Drop kick practice has increased! My range, accuracy and best of all, consistency have all improved. Thanks for inquiring! Here in Korea, there are very few to practice with. I make my own games and practice skills about 3 times a week. I will review your skills videos again.

[@idkidk-lt4xj]

thanks for the tips i bought the rb wolf its great

[@rugbybricks]

Awesome! How is the Wolf Kicking tee going? Pete

[@LrbsportProduct]

Nice video! What are you looking at during the ball drop? The ground or are your eyes following the drop of the ball?

[@rugbybricks]

Great question! Eyes on ball for me so that my brain can figure out how the ball dropping is looking and then get a quick read of what happened with the bounce. The brain is a seriously good computer.

[@stuartandersen4636]

could you show slow mo's of each kick? just to see the strike of the ball thank you for the videos

Love your work Mr Breen Esq. !! Backs Coaching a newly formed Women's team with alot of new players. Trying to get kicking skills going in separate Kicking Group sessions. Your vids are really valuable for sharing and increasing knowledge so girls know what and why we're doing stuff! One request is that some of the girls have a more natural "Step Thru" action when Goal Kicking. Any chance you can expand at some point to include conditioning drills/advice etc to refine their technique? That said you are a fantastic resource for Grassroots Rugby over here in UK!! Thanks so much for all your work! 🙂👍🏻👟🏉

[@rugbybricks]

Hey Andy, A slightly more "Step Thru" action is very UK! I am a big fan of the hop follow through as it allows you to raise the ball and finish the job with your kicking foot. Check out this video on the HOP technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4jVnYOLhbdqr9U Thanks for the support. Pete

@Finn Atticus it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@hcor3641]

Hi Peter, I’m just wanting to know when you say to “kick with a hard foot” do you mean by pointing your foot and toes down or is it something else?

[@MSCCA]

It's keeping your foot pointed down (ankles flexed), much like a football kick. It's so your ankles don't wobble, and you get a more consistent kick.

[@Rub1xHimself]

Hello my problem is that i actually drop using one hand. But my problem is that i mess up my timing because of the ground im playing on. When im playing on ground like what you are playing on is it drops so much higher so i have to have later timing. But when i play with taller grass i have to have quick timing since the bounce is so much lower. What is your tips to stay consistent also if you have any recommendations for cheap boots for kicking much appreciative as im young and expected to buy my boots on my own.

[@erins3603]

I was taught to kick drops just as the ball touches the ground. Is this what you mean by kicking at the apex of the drop?

[@rugbybricks]

Just depends on the outcome of the kick you are after, the higher the bounce and contact the higher the kick. I speak about this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHWsf6Vqf6ajipI
