Instep Soccer Kick A Presentation to Dr. Scot Raab & Ms. Amy Raynor For the Course KSPE 3411 By Jessica Gaskins and Brian Barrett Fall 2008
Description of Instep Kick • Basic kick used in soccer • Frequently used in soccer – Examples: short passes and shooting • A Discrete Skill – Well-defined beginning and end – Usually brief
Description cont’d • • • A skilled movement To be proficient must practice frequently A skillful soccer player – identified when a free, natural movement
Instep Kick • Instep portion of foot: – Arched portion of top of foot • Four Phases of Instep Kick – Preparatory – Windup – Force Production – Recovery
Preparatory Phase • Also called the approach • Take stride with kicking leg • Placement of supporting leg – To the side of the ball – And slightly behind the ball
Windup Phase • Also called the backswing • Kicking leg extends backwards • Kicking foot in plantarflexion • Non kicking leg slightly flexed
Force Production Phase • • Also known as the forward swing Kicking leg thigh is brought forward Kicking leg continues to flex at knee Knee-snap – Forceful, short, sharp extension of knee • Leg extends at knee
Recovery Phase • • • Also called follow through Little follow-through action across the body Arms abducted Kicking toe remains in plantarflexion Body begins to lean back – Heel of kicking leg comes up – Next toe comes up – Small hop follows
Planes and Joint Rotations • Sagittal Plane – Flexion, extension, hypertension, dorsiflexion, plantarflexion • Frontal Plane – Adduction and abduction • External and internal rotation
Center of Gravity • • Shifts during the phases Preparatory phase – Slightly forward from center of body • Windup phase – Shift towards posterior side • Force production phase – Transfers to center of body • Recovery phase – Shifts toward anterior side
Muscles Utilized • • • Abdominal muscles Gluteus maximus and Biceps femoris Quadriceps and Rectus femoris Flexor digitorum longus, Flexor hallicus longus, and soleus Anterior deltoid, Biceps brachiis, and Pectoralis major And More!
Error: Toeing • • Common error Result inaccuracy and invites toe injury Toeing requires little repositioning of foot Fail to lock ankle
Error: Toeing • • • Teacher observe from 15 feet Teacher observe from the side Teacher possibly videotape student – To breakdown error – Student visually see their error
Error: Toeing • Correction during verbal-cognitive stage of learning • Student talks and thinks about error • Visual and verbal feedback best – Teacher or student demonstration – Teacher relates foot position to another skill
Error: Toeing • Student practice in predictable environment – Student can concentrate on phases • • • Begin with a stationary ball Form mastered before using a moving ball Teaching Cues – “keep your toes pointed down” – “lock your ankle”
