Long Ball Distribution and Driven Outlet Passing

Push the ball out diagonally from your defensive zone and drive long aerial passes into a target or full-size goal to train switches of play and clearing balls over the top.

Key points

  • Take a positive diagonal setup touch to create an optimal approach angle
  • Plant the supporting foot firmly and strike underneath the equator with locked laces/instep
  • Follow through toward the target to drive backspin and maintain trajectory over distance

Common mistakes

Scooping the ball with an unlocked ankle, causing sliced balls that lack distance and accuracy.
