The
kicker needs to lean forward with their head and eyes over the
ball while holding the ball upright across its side seems with
one hand on each side.
Release
the ball and make contact with it just before it lands upright
on the ground. Point the toes towards the ground, and make contact
with the laces while keeping the knee bent slightly ahead of
the ball.
The
kicker makes contact with the upper half of the ball. Follow
through with a low, straight leg so the ball moves along the
ground.
