Moving Our Body Parts – Shooting and Heading
Shooting and heading are two important skills in soccer. They allow players to control the ball and score goals.
Shooting
Shooting is kicking the ball into the goal. It involves a series of steps:
- Proper foot placement: The foot used for kicking should be placed firmly on the ground, pointing towards the goal.
- Aiming: The player should aim the ball towards the goal, focusing on the target.
- Planting foot position: The foot opposite the kicking foot should be planted firmly on the ground to provide stability.
- Swinging the leg: The kicking leg should be swung back and then forward, making contact with the ball.
Heading
Heading is using the forehead to hit the ball. It requires:
- Focus on the ball: The player should keep their eyes on the ball at all times.
- Positioning: The player should position their body so that their forehead is facing the ball.
- Using the forehead: The ball should be hit with the forehead, not the face.
- Proper timing: The player should time their head movement to meet the ball at the right moment.
- Adequate body control: The player should maintain balance and control their body throughout the heading motion.
