Hints on Association Football. Shooting on the run. Although some players can kick a dead ball successfully, the best shooting chances with a moving ball which gives additional power. The board should be driven with that in step (that is with the toe pointing to the ground) and the players should be over the ball with the non-kicking foot well forward. If the player is too far behind the ball it will be likely to rise in bus travel over the goal. After having chosen the place to be aimed at keep your eye on the ball. Undated.
