Shooting is A specialized kicking technique mainly used by forwards in association football. The purpose of shooting is to get the ball past the goal line (usually beating the keeper in the process)

Types of Shots

There are basically two types of shots in association football, they are :-

Instep Drive^[1]

This shot is done with the laces and is the widely used shot to shoot with, the ball is struck through with the laces or the top part of the foot. The shot is powerful but usually inaccurate.

Swerve Shot

This shot is made using the side of the foot and is usually but not exclusively used in free kicks. The ball bends or swerves in such a way that it beats the keeper, the only drawback is that it lacks power.
