Soccer Laces
(aka “Instep”). Refers to the top of the foot where the shoelaces are. A front volley would be struck “with the laces”. Long shots, long passes & power kicks are also struck with the laces. (See “Lofted Drive“).

Soccer Dribbling
(aka Carrying) A player can dribble with any part of the foot. “Control dribbling” is usually with the inside or outside of the foot. “Speed dribbling” is often with the top of the foot (i.e., the “laces”). See “Soccer When To Dribble“, “Control Soccer Dribbling“, “Speed Soccer Dribbling” & “Soccer Pass To Yourself“. See How to Teach Soccer Dribbling.
Soccer Drive
(aka Power Soccer Shot). A soccer shot hit with the “soccer laces“. The foot does not go under the ball & the knee should be over the ball when struck with the head looking down (it is very important to keep the eyes on the ball until it is kicked; just like it is important to keep the eyes on a baseball, or a football when catching it or a golf ball when hitting it; if the head goes up too soon, it moves the hips) & a long follow through. Strike the soccer ball halfway up. The shoulder on the same side of the body as the non-kicking foot should be pointing toward the soccer goal before the shot & the shoulders will “square up” to the goal as the kicking foot follows through. (This rotation creates power). Unless the shot must go over a defender, a low shot is preferred because it is more difficult for the goalkeeper to block. (See “Lofted Drive in Soccer“, and “Soccer Chip“).
