Instep pass : Approach

Approach:

Where possible, on the move from a slight angle. As with most passes the non-kicking foot should be aligned alongside the ball pointing in the intended direction of the pass or shot. To keep the ball down the eyes should be focused on the ball at the moment of impact - this ensures the head stays down. Arms are flung out for balance, especially on the non kicking side, foot muscles are tightened just before the impact and the legs swings from the knee.
