High Flick Kicks
Coaching
Points:
The next exercise in the
sequence is the same starting position as the high
knee
punches, but at the
end of the movement instead of touching with the
knee,
flick out and touch the ball with the instep
(laces).
The ball is a lot higher than in the
high knee punches.
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 flicks 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.

40 repetitions.

x 20 repetitions.
3.
