Crescent Kicks While
Moving
Coaching
Points:
The next exercise in the sequence is the same
starting position as the
crescent kicks, but this time the player holding the
ball moves around the grid, forward, backwards and
sideways. The working player follows performing
crescent kicks with the left and right foot. The
player must kick
over the top of the ball with no contact.
The
player doing the exercise can feel better than
anyone their limits, so they must tell the player with the ball to raise it
(if it is too easy), or lower it (if it is too
difficult).
This constant reassessment is vital.
Alternate moves with the left foot, followed by the
right foot.
Music with a constant beat is a fantastic tool for
helping this rhythmic movement.
There are also a number of different ways of using
these drills.
1.
40 repetitions.
2.
3 x 20 repetitions.
3.
30 seconds work, with
maximum touches.
