I wanted to know how to kick a footy further.?

Question

People keep telling me it's all about the contact, but that doesnt mean if i get the contact right that I can kick it 70 metres. are there any drills or exercises i can do to kick a sherrin further??

Answer 1

Ask Sav Rocca, Dustin Fletcher or Scott Lucas!

Answer 2

It's all about judgement & timing, son.

Just like hitting a golf ball.

Anyway, most of the players, currently on AFL playing lists, have the same problem!

Answer 3

AHHHH

someone who talks my language. lol.

firstly i must say that buddy franklin is my #1 hottie!!! im totally in love. lol.

as to your question, make sure that you hold the ball right and yeah, the contact is the main thing. It's just gonna take practice.

good luck

Answer 5

I was taught to kick by the biggest "drop kick "of all time . Well maybe to word it better the "longest"drop kick of all time.   He played for a VFL team  at full back in the 60's. his theory was to practice kicking a match box , concentrate on droping it , then make it spin on contact .  its all about Technique, concentration and then of course, perfect practice makes PERFECT!

Answer 6

Try a torpedo if you're trying for distance. If you're kicking on the run, the ball will almost always go further too. I guess it just takes practice.

How about you check out the Auskick website? I know it's designed for kids, but they should have some pretty good skills sections that give you the technical ways of kicking the footy.

Good luck!

Answer 7

I think you either have it or not but practise wont hurt

Answer 8

Try running then kicking it but that harder to get it accurate. Or try doing a torpedo if you dont no how to do it, hold it on an angle and then drop on then side of your boot and it has to spiral i hope i helped!
