Outside Crescent
Kicks
Coaching
Points:
The next exercise in the sequence is the same
starting position as the inside crescent kicks, but kick
over the top of the ball with the outside
of your foot, with no contact.
Make an arc (crescent) with your leg. 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 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.
