Hi, my name is Adrian Heath. I'm the head coach of the Austin Aztex, and now we're going to demonstrate three simple ways of kicking the football. The first one will be the side-foot pass, and it's just the basic side foot, left foot by the side of the ball, right foot through. And again, can we do it along the ground, [PH] Carlos. If we can, please, along the ground into his--there you go. So his left foot goes down by the side of the ball and pushes through. Can we get another one? Here's [PH] Wes. Get a ball, [PH] Esi, for the next one. There you go. So if you just watch now where the left foot comes by the side of the ball there and you push it through the middle of the ball, right through the middle of the ball and following it through, pushing it along the ground into your colleague or to your goalkeeper. Yes, Esi. [demonstration] No. No, side foot, just along the ground. Oh, along the ground. Yeah, just along the ground. The side foot pass it through. There you go.
