How To CURVE A Soccer Ball STEP BY STEP For Beginners! Easy Shooting Tutorial

Learn how to curve a soccer ball step by step, become better at shooting, and score more goals this season.

Have you ever tried to curve a soccer ball top corner BUT it ends up out of bounds or right into the goalkeepers hands? Your teammates raise their hands in disbelief. Your coach drops his head in disappointment. You feel frustrated for wasting a golden opportunity.

Those days are done!

In this tutorial I’ll show you how to curve a soccer ball when shooting so you can have more confidence in front of goal, help your team win more games, and have more fun when you play!

How To Curve A Soccer Ball

When you were growing up, did your coach always yell at you:

“USE YOUR LACES!”

Obviously, it’s important to be able to strike the ball with power using your laces. However, there are so many players who only use their laces. They don’t have the ability to curve the ball with the inside of their foot. 

Some of this might be your coaches fault BUT if you’re currently struggling to curve a soccer ball - it’s your responsibility to figure it out!

Different situations require different shooting techniques. If you are only able to shoot the ball in one way (laces power strike) then you become predictable and very one dimensional.

Shooting is one of the most difficult skills to master but it is the most rewarding. Most players can pass and receive a ball. They may even be able to dribble past defenders consistently. Yet very few players have the ability to be clinical in front of goal.

If you can become a great shooter, you will stand out from the competition. You will become a rare asset. The type of player who can win games. The type of player coaches dream of having on their team.

It’s not easy to learn how to make a soccer ball curve in the air with consistent quality. But if it was easy, everyone could do it.

Don’t wish for things to be easier. If something is hard to master, that means it’s worth doing. That means most players won’t be willing to put in the work to develop the skill. 

Luckily, you are not most players. While they complain, make excuses, and procrastinate. You run towards hard work. You are willing to put in the repetitions, analyze your techniques, and do whatever it takes to master this skill.

Before we get into the specific techniques of how to put curve on a soccer ball. You need to be willing to make a commitment. A commitment to more repetitions.

Be honest… 

How often do your practice shooting?

The sad reality is most players only practicing shooting when they are in the game. In team sessions they might get 10 shots per practice (if they are lucky). Their individual training only consists of freestyle tricks and fast footwork skills.

If you want to become better at something you need consistent practice.

What if you did 100 curve shots per day?
For 1 week? 1 month? 1 year?

We want all the fancy drills and advanced advice BUT none of that will help you master the skill of curving a soccer ball, if you aren’t applying the most consistent principle of development:

CONSISTENT PRACTICE
