Curving a Soccer Ball

At this point I am in the middle of learning how to curve a soccer ball around a defender. The reason why I am learning this is because I have always wanted to know how to cure a soccer ball and it can be very useful on the field. Say for instance that you get fouled in a game and you get a free kick. There will probably be a defender or two in front of you so you will want to be able to get the ball around them and still get it on frame. Another time you could use it is when you take a corner kick.  Last Tuesday I had a soccer game and I ended up having to take a corner kick. If you aren't familiar with soccer you take a corner kick right in line with the goal post so if you kick it straight then you will it the post. Since I had already watched a few videos on curving a soccer ball I thought that I should give it a shot. I lined up the way I learned ad I took the shot and it curved! The ball did not go in but it was still awesome because I finally could curve a soccer ball. I am still not perfect at it so I am still watching some videos.

    Abbey,

    This is a neat skill to learn. Maybe you could find a video of someone curving a soccer ball so that your readers know what curving a soccer ball is even if they've never played soccer. You could also detail any drills you might be doing to reach this goal. You could also have video updates of how close you are getting to curve the soccer ball.
