The volley in football: An art of the game
Definition: In football, a volley refers to the technique of striking the ball directly out of the air before it touches the ground. This challenging maneuver leads to spectacular moments that can decide a game.
Why is the volley so special?
- Technical brilliance: The right timing, correct body posture, and precise ball control are essential for a perfect volley.
- Unpredictability: A sudden volley can surprise defenders and goalkeepers, as they often have no time to react.
- Spectacular goals: Volley goals are often among the most memorable highlights of a match or even a season.
- Training and perfection: Mastering the volley requires a lot of practice and patience. It is not just a question of technique, but also of game intelligence and the ability to recognize opportunities.
How to train the volley effectively
The problem with volley training: it requires precise crosses – and they are rarely the same. With the VOLLEYCHAMP®, the ball remains stable at a height of 10, 20, or 30 cm for every repetition. This allows you to train your timing, posture, and shooting technique in a targeted way, even on your own.
