Striking the ball

Here are some basics of striking the ball:

• Make sure you have a good touch to set yourself up for a good strike

• Have a couple of steps up for a good position to strike

• lock your ankle

• hit the spot a little lower than the middle of the ball

• follow through

     These will all lead to a good hit on goal!!

     Hello everyone my name is Derek Neidlinger and I am here to talk with you about the beautiful game of fútbol. I am 14 years old and play for Santa Rosa United U15 boys. My team is exceptionally good we have won state cup and gone to North Carolina for Nationals. I play defensive midfield and outside winger. I am quick and like to give lots of assists to my teammates. I go the a thing called state pool in Northern California. This player pool consists of some of the best players in Northern California. I have been doing this program for about three years now. I love being with people who play the game and our knowledgeable about it. I like to spend a lot of time with the ball doing different things. My favorite player Deandre Yedlin, he plays outside back for Tottenham hotspurs. My favorite team is also Tottenham.
