Chips are when the ball goes
up in the air when a player kicks it
on the ground. You can perform a
chip by using the top of your toes
(front part part of your shoe when
looking down to your shoe) to kick
the bottom of the ball. This adds
down spin to the ball so it goes
straight up, then straight down.
Another cool technique to shoot

(If you’re right footed) you kick the
bottom left corner of the ball and
follow through with your foot to
create spin on the ball. Therefore
making the ball turn which ever
way you followed through (to the

you repeat this procedure on the
opposite side so you kick the ball
in the bottom right corner and
follow through etc. This shot helps
because it normally confuses the
goalkeeper.
