How to Volley a Soccer Ball:
The easiest time to strike the ball with power is when the ball is already off the ground.
1. Determine where a ball in the air will hit the ground.
2. Arrive at that spot a split second before the ball.
3. Plant your non-kicking foot as you would if the ball was resting on the ground.
4. Position the knee of your kicking leg above the ball as it descends toward your foot.
5. Kick the ball at its centerline.
6. Point your toes at the ground to maximize power.
7. Turn your toes parallel to the ground and cock your ankle to increase the odds of connecting with the ball.
8. Follow through on your kick.
