Restart drop kick

This is the hardest drop in the game, because the ball has to hit the ground first.

What good looks like

The ball lands on its end
Contact happens just after the bounce
The leg does not slow down

The drill

Stand with the ball in two hands, pointed down and slightly toward you.
Drop it so it lands on its end just in front of your kicking foot.
Strike it as it comes off the ground, not before and not after.
Aim for height first and distance second.
Retrieve and reset.

Space

30m of grass, one ball. A flat surface makes the bounce honest.

Make it harder / make it easier

Harder. Kick for a 10 meter line and a specific hang time.

Easier. Drop and catch with no kick, twenty times, until the ball lands on its end every time.

How to film it

Prop the phone side-on and close enough that the bounce is visible. How to film a drill.
