How can I kick an AFL football further?

Question

I am perfect with all other areas of football, except for kicking it long distances.

Any tips for me to kick it further???

Answer 1

tishee is right put more power into it but dont bash it and practice

Answer 2

The trick is not to kick the skin off it, theres a sweet spot bout 4inches from the point of the ball... also kick through the ball dont stab at it..

oh

and practice, practice, practice...

Answer 3

crack a 420g can of baked beans before the game and just as the ball makes conection with your boot, release a f**t. this will give you a 'boost' and you'll notice much more penetration in your kicks

Answer 4

kick a good drop punt, your toe should be pointed where you want the ball to go and you should follow through with your foot at about shoulder height. Make sure your muscles are warm.

You could also try other kicking styles like a torpedo, but this takes a lot of practise and is not always accurate.

good luck!

Answer 5

You could try kicking it in a different style, perphaps a torpedo

not everyone is good at everything. look at Dale Thomas, he cant tackle for c**p but hes a d**n good marker and kicker. look at Andrew Mackie, he never kicks the ball to his team mates but he can tackle.

Answer 8
