General Helpful Hints

- always be in a ready stance, with feet pointing ahead and shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, weight low and slightly forward.
- with the basic kicks/hits, usually you should face the direction that you want to direct the ball to as you contact it.
- approach contact with the ball in a slow, easy and relaxed fashion, it is more important to first develope good timing (knowing when and how to contact the ball) than it is to kick the ball hard.
- the support leg provides your balance so should maintain a low profile and be flexed at the knee as your other foot executes the kick.
- ambidexterity is key to being a more versatile player, when ball approaches your right side, kick it with your right foot - leftside, left foot
