Counter Attack: The Side Volley on the Move
Create / Find / Take space Compose yourself by decelerating with side on approach = better angle to play Release ball slightly further in front Keep it flat = space to hit into Higher = playing over top1/6
You see a lot of people hitting great side volleys when they’re relaxed from a standing start in training but may struggle to find consistency / quality in games
You’ll most likely use side volley to counter
Catch cross, sprint out & try to play nice accurate / pacy ball

But may end up hitting too high, slicing, topping it, no accuracyA reason for that can be that you’re rushing. Not slowing down / composing yourself before playing
If you’re hitting them well in training from a standing start: Start moving slowly / shorter distance before then play it Gradually increase distance / pace

Create / Find / Take space up towards edge of the box to decrease the distance you have to play and room to strike
Compose yourself by decelerating with a side on approach to also get into position

Release: make sure you release the ball further forward than normal as you’re stepping into it with more pace Keep it flat as you can if there’s space to hit into or go higher if playing over the topWe hope this helps
