  • A soccer player uses his laces to kick a ball for distance, not the side of his foot. Here's why your way of kicking a field goal doesn't work. With using your toe, you get all the power of your foot but you have no accuracy. With the side of the foot, you get accuracy, but you get no power. With your toe pointed down, ankle firm, and kick with the laces, you get all the power in your leg, and you get accuracy, however, if you kick the ground, it might hurt.

  • Lefty

  • sir, you white....

  • Terrible!!!

  • both kicks were the same minus how he lined up the actual contact was the same

  • why would a basketball player teach football

  • @theknifekid I saw that to and i was like what 

  • no one cares if you play soccer or not your either a bad kicker or a good kicker the end

  • tht kid that is kicking is sooo hot<3 o and im a girl and i want to play for the football team next year wen i go to high scool if i get at least 25 thumbs up i will try out for the kicker

  • its not toe poking, its toe kicking! you dont poke the ball with ur toe!?!?!

  • umm... am i the only one who does not see the diff between the kicks the kid does?

  • @RedRoseRecordsSWE the toe kick use the top of his foot with the area on under the laces while the soccer style use the side of his foot

  • lol that "soccer style" kick that kid gave was awful

  • i like straight on kicking because it reminds of George Blanda

  • kool

    

  • Toe punting is a great way of kicking, until you break your toe

  • so boring

  • Nobody should kick with their toe. Its bad for you.

  • @Sammyv17 How? im a straight on kicker with a brand shoe that no one has man i kick 53yards and the guy showing straight on kicking is stupid as hell

    Just saying!

  • this guy should stick with coaching pop warner

  • It looks like he kicked both with his toe. The holder didn't even lean the ball to the left for the soccer style kick.

  • is it really so bad if your foot that was standing on the ground goes up after the shot like a jump? i just switched from soccer to football and my coach told me the way i shoot is wrong but the ball is perfectly flying so what shall i do?

  • In Soccer you put your plant foot down in the direction you want to kick and then you kick the ball trying to get the laces as the point of contact (the cleats not the ball) then you want to follow through with the leg and your plant foot may "skip" a bit during the follow trough but its basically the same for any type of field goal, goal kick, PK, etc.

  • the idea that at any point time anybody could genuinely think toe poking was a better kicking technique makes me sad to be a human being

  • lol, what happend to kicking with your laces??? in soccer you only pass the ball with the side of your foot, but you use your laces to shoot it, just like you should take a field goal or a kick off

  • Is it possible to say --- Field goal swipe kick from now on ,, Soccer style is for soccer ,, damn it this is football.. Football place kickers and punters need not be looked at as Soccer kickers anymore ... And thank you for he video guys!

  • @TheThanandros I've never heard of a punter being refered to as soccer style. There is normal and rugby style for punting.

  • Is it possible to say --- Field goal swipe kick from now on ,, Soccer style is for soccer ,, damn it this is football.. Football place kickers and punters need not be looked at as Soccer kickers anymore ...

  • 8===D

  • let your kicking leg's momentum carry you down field. your plant foot should skip a little.

  • honestly i did not see a difference in either of the kicks this kid made.

  • Steyn :)

  • Is this backyard football because it looks like you are playing at Sandy Flats.

  • the kicker looks gay

  • that kicker looks like a cheep 90s actor lol

  • nice field

  • the "soccer kick" is a joke.

    I've been playing soccer (football, no discussion about that please...) my entire life and what the guy does in the video is what a 5 y/o would do when first kicking a ball...

  • this isnt football and it isnt rugby this is american gayball get your armors off and then play pussys...

  • @ChEvApEr Ahhh shut up. We don't care what you think of our sport moron!!! Embrace something your not familiar with, not hate it. The pads have a purpose.

  • @ChEvApEr This isn't faggot-ball (soccer), it's FOOTBALL. If they took off the pads, guys would be getting killed (literally) every single year. Shut the fuck up about shit you know nothing about.

  • @bossfrog I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as faggot ball. But im not postive so might want to double check somewhere.

  • Comment removed

  • u suck wanker

  • too bad his soccer style was the same as his straight on except he almost missed the ball

  • why do you guys hate so much. for real its pointless

  • want to see a proper soccer kick?

    " clarence seedorf goal with real madrid "

  • @dartmf i love that shot, i can watch it over and over again

  • whats up with the tee not suposed to have it during fiel goals morons!

  • i kick it with my shoelace like how a soccer coach would tell you to kick a ball. works fine for me...

  • okay kicker dont have nike shoes and aidida socks

  • just leave kicking field goals to soccer players

  • @LeAndrohalfmexi HAHA i play soccer for the past 9 years and im going to public school this year, and the coach goes to my church and he asked if i would come kick for there football team anyway LOL

  • @LeAndrohalfmexi lol ikr, im in 7th grade, and i play soccer, im the only one who can kick the football good.(in my middle school)

  • thats some field your playing on

  • oh shit i was reading my old account comment and thought it was funny. i didnt even notice it was my words

  • Thanks for this video! i want to be a kicker, but being a girl its even harder, i need all the help i can get :)

  • that isnt really a soccer style kick. a real soccer style kick should have an up and across motion with your foot instead of just up. also he just ran at the ball straight. his foot didnt sweet across

  • if anyone wants to see a video on how to kick a fiel goal in MUCH more detail, including how to step into, etc., send me a message and i will make one and send it to you!

  • yes i want to see it

  • @coolkid124450 ok, i will work on it!

  • funny think is farthest kick in nfl history is 63 and he kicked straight style and the guy had no touse

  • seems like you'd be able to do the toe poke one with your laces and it be a lot more accurate, you'd just need to lean back to get under the ball.

  • His soccer style kick was terrible... to say the least.

  • Comment removed

  • It would figure that this video is made by expertvillage, the coach or whoever that fatass is, is completely wrong. Side of the foot? Wasn't aware we were trying to pass or curve the football here. Laces, strongest bone in your foot, gives you the most power and most coverage on the ball. Someone really needs to get rid of all their videos, they're so clueless to everything.

  • expert village isn't a joke the expert is but the village isn't

  • expertvillage has no real experts.

  • Are you kidding? Toe Poking? This has to be a joke right?

  • soccer style, way better nd accurate, plus i play soccer so its better for me

  • soccer style, way better nd accurate

  • expert village is a joke

  • its called straight-on not toe poking

  • how to you get the text away

  • how do u get thet text away

  • @morrisrugbykid  click the CC button under the screen

  • lol i get my kicking skills from soccer haha

  • are the adidas f-50 good to kick with?

  • @urmomsmean i am kicking with f50s this year

  • @urmomsmean yes and no i mean its all personal preference you know, but it does help when your able to adjust the length of the spikes to just having a flat stud so you can get lower on the ball (if you have to) with out nicking the tee or ground i have f50s and i play both soccer and football and its fine with me

  • this instruters are jokes. he doesnt know grap!!!!!!!! hes like 18 kicking a extra point with a 2' tee! stupid people think they can kick

  • what about kicking it with laces?

  • i thought you could kick it with the top of your foot....

  • It's partially called straight on kicking because their supposed to line up straight with the ball...NO Side Steps!!!

  • no not good

  • straight on kicking is fine, but the guy kicking it isnt lined up straight on, this is a horrible demonstration

  • atleast football learned something from soccer.

  • This guy has no idea what he is talking about...

  • this guy is a fucking retard 

  • i agree with flames he doesnt know anything about kicking!!!!!!!

  • was that even a football field?!

  • give the kid a cookie he made the kick

  • uddes form is all fucked up.

  • Show me one NFL kicker who is a GOOD toe punt kicker. This video is absolutely useless, every good kicker kicks it NORMALLY not "soccer style". Morons.

  • never learn anything off of expert village. and im guessing this is his son. he is a joke. haha

  • he did soccer style step to kick the ball with his toes lol....

  • your'e a bad coach,if you kick it with your toes it barely goes straight...side-kick is more convinient but you got to use more power

  • yea i played soccer wen i was little nd stopped playing wen i was 12 nd wen i first kicked a football it went so far

  • the form in this kickers video is needing more practice

  • futball kicking/soccer style kicking is a very difficult technique ... its all about manipulating the ball with the inside or outside of the foot to get swerve on the ball, and if you want to volley the ball (which gives you extra power) you have to hit it with the top of your foot ... and depending at what angle your body position is also determines the swerve of the futball (ie David Beckham free kicks are a good example of body position which gets more swerve on the ball)

  • I'm pigeon toed so it just screws me up! I cant soccer kick

  • this guys are retard man just kick the dam ball

    check my kicks

  • dumb

  • i just started kicking fied goals two days ago, and i can hit 15-20 yarders so far, and this vid did help with the toe kick part, im struggling with the soccer part, =/ anytips? shoo somevids and send em to m for help, or just mssg me.thanx

  • harlanzip... if you want to learn to kick soccer style, practice kicking a soccer ball first

  • For some reason whenever i try to kick soccer style, i just cant. Even when i attempt to kicj the ball with the side of my foot i just end up toe poking it and it sucks. Any Suggestions on how to get my leg to kick soccer style?

  • look at Rob Bironas kicking tips, it really helped me, and I made a 47 yard field goal attemp in practice once.

  • make sure your swing is straight, you also need to lean away from the ball aswell. If u really want to learn, you should try and find a personal coach with NFL or college experiance

  • soccer style is so much more accurate. i just switched to it but cant kick it as hard with my toe. all nfl kickers kick it with with the side of their foot. u look like a dumbass kicking it with your toe and u look like ur from 1940's

  • Heehee, that is kind of funny.

  • @flames210 nothing wrong with kicking straight on, it doesnt matter how youre kicking it, just as long as it goes through

  • @flames210 Most kick it with the top of their foot down to be honest with you.

  • @flames210 i think so too, i feel like theres more control, I wanna try out for a kicker and i was wondering if i could kick without that little black thing under the ball.

  • @flames210

    Some people like straight on. I was always doing striaght on, but i broke my toe nail>.<

    So i just switched to a cornerback:D

  • @flames210 its called old school and i just switched to soccer style and its hard as hell to get your toe out of the way isnt it?

  • this kicker is a joke

  • @hannuschlivecom I'm pretty sure he's homosexual...but I like the coach...his explanations are very clear

  • You obviously never played, cause if you did you wouldn't be saying that, try playing running back, and getting crunched by three linebackers, who are USING THEIR PADS to hit. That makes the impact alot harder than in rugby where a guy isn't able to use his head to hit.

    After a couple hard pops, and possibly a concussion I'm pretty sure you wouldn't call football a women's game....Soccer? Now there's a women's game, what else do you call something known as "the beautiful game" how gay is that?

  • pathetic americans, u change the name football to soccer n rugby to american football. who gave u the rights? dun disrespect football pls. and who would be stupid enough to kick a ball with the toe?!

  • I agree with you in a way. Here in america, mo one (the majority of people) dont consider soccer a sport. I love it and play it in goal and am a great field goal kicker in football too.

  • its a petty that u consider that most americans dont think of football "soccer" as a sport.....when its the oldest football sport and most popular sport on the planet...its the most basic and primal way of sport...thats way it the most popular an one of the most difficults to play accurate.

  • And its futbal dumbass!

  • theres another way ppl kick it too i kick it wihere my laces are it was kinda hard at first but got used to i

  • basicaly any soccer i kno can kick a field goal ima a kicker nd my freind is a soccer player hes better at kicking than me

  • i am a freshmen and can kick from over 40 yards, i've been kicking soccer style for like 2 years and am still better than him. his soccer style looked more like a toe blow than his toe blow kick, and he wasn't even wearing kicking cleats, he was wearing these nike football cleats.

  • great pitch

  • is it just me or does this guy seem to not really flow through the ball? also i am a sophomore i use a 1inch and have hit a 50 yarder and was 4 for 4 this season......THIS VIDEO HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!! ahahahahahahahahah

  • then you got tallent and should go on to college and pros.

  • Left footed o.O

  • nice field

  • not gonna lie, they probably could have used a better clip of him kicking to make for better proof lol.

  • hahaha i go to that middle school. its grassland. weird

  • Comment removed

  • This kid kicked it to the field goal BEHIND the one the instructors talking about lmao

  • im 7 and i just stand there and kick is without any steps. i never miss from 50 and from 65 i only make 9 out of 10... why do i suck!!!!!!

  • because inches isn't the same as yards...

  • yeH RIGH TMKE A VIDEOO TO PROVE IT dumbshit you cat do that

  • lol ur 7 and can make a 65 yard FG? pros cant even do that. fucking troll

  • welcome to sheldon varsity football son.

  • woo, 65 inch paper football field goal for you. Hoo effing ray

  • i find it hilarious how you guys can not get a joke....i mean just flat out funny. did you really think i was serious?? "yeah make a video to prove it!" what are you dumb or somethin...afwell1 was the only one to get it and unorthadox dick you dont even have the balls to say fuck....what are you 5? you guys take shit way to seriously..

  • Either I'm 5, or I'm mature enough to understand that cursing doesn't make me any cooler. Trying to sound cool on the internet doesn't do anything for you, it's like showing off. What, you think that people are actually going to notice whether you curse or not and think that you're cool or not cool. I don't curse because I choose not to, not because I don't have the balls to.

  • im 13, i kick soccer style and i NEVER miss 35s

  • i made 10 out of 15 field goals soccer style from 35 and im only 14

  • i learned naturly and im younger than u

  • why did he take side steps when he kicked straight on? hahahaha

  • straight on is how your foot hits the ball, not how you line up in relationship to the ball.

  • your an idiot

  • yo this guy does not know what hes talking about.. you wanna see a real amateur kicker check out my brother Ovi Coca.. Canadian Kicker/Punter... These guys should be ashamed of themselves for even posting the crap .. you never toebash a football.

  • yes u can u just need special kicking shoes that have a flat end.

  • bad idea to kick anything with your toes...eventually it'll catch up to the kicker and serious problems can come of it, that is if the kicker hasn't broken any toes before hand.

  • yah man i kick farther with toe than soccer style.soccer style you cant trust it on how your ball is gonna go.

  • thats because you haven't developed a form yet. just like playing golf, kicking a football is the same way. It's not about how hard you swing your leg (or the golf club), it's all about your technique. Once you learn the proper way to kick a football, the ball will go the same height, same distance every time. if you're a toe kicker in high school, you're either too lazy to work on a good form, you're a shit kicker, or you're a linebacker handling kicking duties.

  • I kicked with my toe, all through pop warner middle school and one year of j.v. football thinking that was the only way to do it. I switched after I found out about the soccer style, it's a lot better, more control and distance.

  • Nicktheslick...

    stfu

    No one asked you about the kid's ability. Lame ass

  • lol, this coming from the high school kicker who played at the little known school and could barely kick past 25 yrds with the toe, nice

  • Are you high??

    No one said i kicked. Learn to read retard

  • the ball kept going for another 40 yards if you look nice

  • Nice Ass guyes LOl

  • nobody kicks with the toe its just outdated and your result will be 1 for 10 instead of 6 for 10

  • There are far too many mechanical shortcomings endemic to straight on kicking when compared to soccer style kicking. If you or your kid are kicking and not doing it soccer style, correct that problem immediately. You'll be pleased with the results once you work out the mechanics.

  • first of all, kicking with the toe is far less powerful and accurate than kickin it with the top/side of the foot...second of all, the kid taking the "soccer" kick in this video is terrible, i highly doubt he can make it pat 40 yrds

  • 40? lol.. try 30.

  • You can't break your toe if you keep kicking it strait on

  • actually you can. it doesnt take a large amount of force to break a bone. ive accidentally run into a friend during football and snapped my right major toe like it was a twig.

    i kick soccer style and attempting toe-point kicking shows a major change in how it feels.

  • i just got rick rolled

  • what a shitty field aha

  • wtf just kick the fucking ball

  • this guy hasw know idea what he is talking about

  • hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah­hah  so sad!

  • if you keep hitting wiht you toe your goin to mess it up and break it. its you can also hit it with the laces.

  • soccer style is supposed to b accurate then toe poking gets farther but in my personal opinion i would kick it soccer style

  • if your a kicker it hels to knwo how to kick a soccer ball but toe poking goes where it wants soccerstyle is the accurate kick and remember to keep your head down and have a good follow through
