Taking the shot:

- the run-up has to be made diagonal to the kicking direction
- the stretched foot is fixed in the ankle and turned in, meanwhile the knee has to be positioned over the ball
- the upper body is bent over the supporting leg
- the hitting area is the outside of the foot

Goal:

- a undercover/hidden passing 
- shooting a goal

Possible mistakes:

- shifting the weight on the kicking leg after the shot
- the distance between the suppoting leg and the ball is too big
- not fully hitting the ball
