A half volley is a controlled kick that is made after the ball bounces off the ground.Even though half volleying a soccer ball is a skill that is mostly developed by a goalkeeper, situations arise in soccer when you may have to cross the ball mid-air to clear it as a defender.Each method requires a somewhat different approach, so this article will deal with it separately.
Step 1: Half volleys are usually when you have the ball in your hand and need to clear it.
Step 2: Throw the ball up once to see how tall you are.
Step 3: Start a run.
Step 4: Throw the ball forwards if you take a step or two.
Step 5: If you want to connect your laces with the base of the ball, you must let it pitch once.
Step 6: Allow your kicking leg to complete its path before you balance yourself.
Make sure your body is free and loose because sudden stops can make you lose balance.A low follow through with your body over the ball will keep it low, whereas a higher clearing shot will occur when you are leaning back or when it is further away from the ground.While the angle of contact and positioning is the same, you don't have as much space and are under pressure from an opponent.Shield the ball first and then kick it.Make sure your follow through is safe.
Step 7: Close control dominates half volley situations in the middle of the park.
When you have to half volley the ball in order to give a teammate a pass, it's different than a defender, where brute power can do the job.The receiver needs to be able to handle your pass.
Step 8: Before you half volley, make sure the ball is at least three footsteps away.
Step 9: Start your run with an average or long stride, then shorten it as you reach the ball.
Step 10: Get close to the ball and use your foot to make a pass.
The infoot compensates for the loss of power with great accuracy.When you need to get the ball over the opponent, this techniques is especially useful.If you need to send it out far, position yourself a bit farther from the ball and make contact when it is about 10 cm off the ground.
Step 11: Wingers who are new to crossing should raise a ball a bit before taking the ball into the air.
It is a very charismatic move, and is also precise, even though it gives the opponent more time.
Step 12: The ball should be at your feet.
If you're new to the technique, you won't have enough space if you start the run in the final third.
Step 13: The ball needs to be raised.
While controlling the ball with light touches, put your intoe at the base of it and push it upwards with small force.
Step 14: Cross the ball.
The final move is similar to theMidfielder, except that you will be using your lower laces at an approximate 20, and your kicking foot is facing the "D" (wherever you want the cross to go).
Step 15: Prepare to take advantage of the opportunity.
When your team takes a corner, the opposition clears half-heartedly.Take full advantage of the opportunity if the ball falls at your feet.There is no need for a checkup.
Step 16: Align yourself so that your kicking foot is behind the ball.
Step 17: Lean forward and position your entire body behind the ball.
Step 18: Use your laces to strike the ball's face when it is about 15 cm away from the ground for a straight shot.
For a curved shot, use your outfoot.
Step 19: You can follow through by letting your feet come back down.
