How to Perform a Volley


Step 1:
When approaching the ball you are going to want to be balanced and swing your leg back for power; as is demonsrated in this photo. You are going to want to keep a good eye on the ball and know where you want to strike it. 

Step 2:
The split second before you strike the volley you must aim for just a little bit under the ball. If you aim to high high on the ball you will hit it into the ground and if you aim to high it will soar above the bar. Stiking a little bit under the ball will lead to a clean strike on frame. 

Step 3:
As you stike your volley you want to hit the center as we talked about before with your laces. Striking the ball with your laces will lead to a more powerful and clean strike on frame. The power from your leg swing will be exerted when you strike the ball with your laces. 

Step 4:
After you have perfromed your volley you must follow through or your strike will not be as cleam. The follow through is important so that you get more power and accuaracy on your strike. 

If you perfrom all these steps the proper way you will hopefully have a clean and powerful strike on frame. You may not succeed your first few attempts, but continue to try practice.

  1. Great post Derek, I liked how you used pictures to show each step of volleying the soccer ball before explaining what it was. You images were high quality and your explanation of each step was very through and informative to people who might not even know anything about soccer. Overall your post was amazing and I look forward to reading more of your blog posts.
