Soccer kicks percentage accuracy personal results

Updated 11/1/13

11/1/13

I felt I needed two new practice results tables to replace the old practice results table linked to in the previous 10/14 entry. The two new tables are:

Stationary Soccer Ball Kick Accuracy Results
Rolling Soccer Ball Kick Accuracy Results

I take 3 steps forward and then kick the ball. When I am kicking rollers, on the first step forwards, I dribble the ball forwards.

I've learned some things over the past couple of weeks of practicing kicking the ball at the target. I would have learned these things earlier had I not been putting my time into things more advanced than chip-passing accuracy. I now understand how getting into advanced things can lead to a surprising level of backwardness with basic things.

1) At the moment when the foot impacts the ball, the mind should be simply focused on hitting the target with the ball. Stuff like experimentation with different attitudes has its place, but at the time the foot hits the ball the mind should simply be on hitting the target with the ball.

2) When kicking a stationary ball, early in the approach to the ball, an arm should swing backwards, but this swing should be gotten over with quickly.

3) when kicking a stationary ball, the leg connected to the 'plant-foot' (the plant-foot is placed near the ball as the other foot kicks the ball) should be tense when it is planted next to the ball prior to the ball being kicked by the kicking foot.

4) when kicking a rolling ball, the ball should be rolled out out on the dribble at a moderately brisk speed, and the ball should be approached with long brisk steps prior to the kick.

My approach in steps to the ball prior to kicking it comes to me naturally, and resembles the steps approach prior to a kick utilized by field-goal kickers in American-style football (according to Field Goal Technique | The Kicker's Corner found via football field goal approach steps jab number - Google Search):

"Just like steps and stance, field goal approaches come in many shapes and sizes. The most common approach however consists of a slight jab with the plant-foot, step with kicking foot, plant with plant-foot, and then swing through the ball".

After eight months of not touching a soccer ball, I practiced hitting a six foot high, three foot wide rectangle whose bottom narrow edge was 8 feet above the ground with various types of kicks. I shot at the target from 24 feet away. I shot with my left and right feet, using both the approach ball from behind, and approach ball on slant approaches. I kept score from the very beginning without a warmup. Overall I hit the target 20 times out of 80 attempts, a 25% rate, with many close misses. The scored are recorded at:

Kick Accuracy Table

Hitting the target from 24' equates to a chip pass of 48' (the wall obstructs the second half of the arch of the path of the ball).

The International Futsal official court dimensions are 40 meters x 20 meters. Such is, 44 yards x 22 yards, and 132' x 66'. A max diagonal of 148' corner to corner.

The gym I play in is basically, if borders during a game = ball out of bounds, only approx 93' long and 51' wide, with a max corner to corner diagonal of 106'.

Therefore, a 48' pass is equal to: 45% of the max diagonal, the longest straight line in a gym; and, 32% of the max diagonal, the longest straight line on an official-sized international Futsal court.

And also, a 48' pass is equal to: 52% of the length of the gym; and, 36% of the length an official-sized international Futsal court.
