Great kicking action on display in this shot of long time EFC stable member Hayden Lane at a recent Dandenong Stingrays U16 training session.

Hayden has worked extremely hard on refining his technique and is now becoming a very consistent kick.

Notice the strong form in regards to his posture and strength through his support leg.

Good knee bend to generate power - “heel to bum”.

Correct ball drop from his guiding hand and his left balance arm outstretched.

He has developed this starting from Foundation Kicking (no step), progressing through to all types of kicks used in football.

Any player can improve this part of their game with the correct guidance and practice.
