Sight Your Target:
Before you kick the ball make sure you have your target firmly in sight in order to orient your body properly
Hold the Ball End Up Over Dominant Foot:
Make sure the top end of the ball is tilted slightly back towards you so that when the ball hits the ground it bounces slightly back into your kicking foot. Placing the ball end up over your dominant foot assures that it will be in the proper place to be kicked once it hits the ground.
Keep Your Eye on the Ball:
Once you have sighted your target and are ready to drop the ball, make sure you shift your focus to the rugby ball as you are dropping it. You should have already positioned your body in the right direction and should know where you are kicking the ball. Now you need to focus your attention on the ball to make sure you strike it cleanly and accurately.Step into the Kick:
Make sure you step into the kick as well once you have dropped the ball. You should start with the ball over your dominant foot and your weight on your dominant foot. Once you drop the ball, step forward onto your non-dominant foot with that foot beside and in line with the rugby ball. Swing through with your dominant foot. Make sure not to rock back onto your heels as you want all of your power moving forward. You should finish on the balls of you feet going forward.Use the Top of Your Foot:
When you are swinging through the ball, make sure to use the inside top of your foot for the best striking surface. This will provide the most power and accuracy for your drop kick.
