Physiology and Development

  • The soccer-style kick lasts for no longer than five seconds, depending on the length of the approach.

  • Kicking is a complex motor task which we learn as children.

  • The most common biomechanical difference between the elite and novice soccer player is that elite soccer players use a refined and consistent movement pattern where novices use a variable and inconsistent one.

Phases of Movement:

  • Following through with your striking leg is important

  • It gives the ball more power

  • After the ball is striked, the striking foot should land on the ground in front of you to regain balance

2. Plant Foot Forces

3. Swing Limb Loading

4. Hip Flexion and Knee Extension

5. Foot to Ball Contact

6. Follow Through

The muscles used in striking the soccer ball include: Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps, and Core Muscles.

This movement occurs in the sagittal plane and the mediolateral axis.

1. The Approach

5. Foot to Ball Contact

The Biomechanics of Striking a Soccer Ball

  • Make contact with the ball with your laces

  • Lace contact causes the ball to stay on the ground and your strike will be powerful
  • Begin in an upright body position

  • Start two to four paces behind the soccer ball

  • Approach the ball from a slight angle to the left or right depending on which foot you are kicking it with

2. Plant Foot Forces

4. Hip Flexion and Knee Extension

  • Your plant foot is important because it dictates whether the ball with fly into the air or roll on the ground.

  • Your plant foot should be placed a few inches to the side of the ball.

  • Your plant foot should be facing the direction you want the ball to go.
  • The knee should be extended to provide more force

  • The hip should be flexed to provide more power

  • Rotate hips towards the ball and put weight on the standing leg

3. Swing Limb Loading

  • Once you have stabilized your plant foot your momentum towards the ball will determine the speed the ball travels.

  • The leg that you are using to kick the ball should be going forward.
