Hi guys, I need some tips for place kicking! Our season starts soon and I’ve been practising during summer. I’ve never kicked before, but am keen to start. I’ve got a lot of tips off the net, but am still struggling, mainly with power. When I strike the ball, it gets plenty of height and spin and is fairly accurate but doesn’t go very far. I’m not 100% sure if I’m hitting the ball in the right area i.e where the sweet spot is (where is it!?). What is it about the kick that gives you the power? Basically the distance I am getting from where the ball is kicked to where it first bounces is 35m, which isn’t really enough. Basically giving me a goal scoring kicking distance of just over 30m.. any tips would be appreciated. Also what kind of distance should I be aiming for to be an OK kicker for a club side.
