What is the best way to curve a soccer ball?

Kick the ball slightly off center with the front of the  foot with the ankle bent in the shape of an "L". This causes the applied force to act as a torque, giving the ball a spin.

Slick Vic has a good idea but its better to start off dribbling with one hand. These are some of the exercises my old coach showed me. Start dribbling the ball normally, but do it with only one finger. Then dribble the ball with two fingers while dribbling faster and dribbling the ball closer to the ground. Go up to five fingers and u should dribble the ball barely off the ground. \nAnother exercise is the figure 8. Dribble the ball close to the ground, spread your legs apart and dribble the ball in a figure 8 around ur legs, left hand around the left leg, right hand around the right leg:)

Well first a cannon ball is basically a hard ball, for that try to hit it just in the middle, and put some direction to where you want your ball to go.\n\nThen the curling, you can apply it by hitting the ball with the interior part of the shoe creating a spin and giving some direction, as more to the edge you hit it, the hit would go perfect.\n\nIf you don't know some terms ill help you with that too.\n\nInterior Part: The part that faces the other shoe, this part is usually used to give short passes, because you can calculate the precision and the strenght\n\nSpin: hitting the ball so it makes a curve, it depends to where do you want to shoot, and which leg you are using.\n\nCannon Ball: Very hard ball, that usually doesn't have any effect(curling ball, loose-speed ball, backward ball, and some others) this is mostly use for hits that want to have a fixed direction.\n\nCurled Ball: Is referred to the ball that has some effect  that when you kick it, doesn't finish in the same side the ball is suppose to go. The ball has a shape of a curve in the air.

Power comes with practice. Curve comes with technique.\n\n1.   Approach the ball straight on.  \n  \n2.   Place your nonkicking foot to the side of the ball and about 12 inches behind the ball.  \n  \n3.   Take a full backswing with your kicking leg.  \n  \n4.   Keep your ankle locked at a 90-degree angle.  \n  \n5.   Point your toes severely to the right before making contact with the ball, if you are kicking with your left foot, or to the left if kicking with your right foot.  \n  \n6.   Strike the ball on the side closest to your planted foot.  \n  \n7.   Follow through, keeping your toes pointed to the right.

yeah, free flow is good. if your team playing defensive, fine, let them. or you can change the formation into 4-2-4 this way, you can play attack football and defensive at the same time. don't pass the ball through the midfielder, use long shots. haha.... hope it works

1.   Hide the ball in your glove.  \n  \n2.   Grip the ball with your middle and index fingers perpendicular to the seams at their widest point, with your thumb underneath the ball.  \n  \n3.   Spread your top fingers apart slightly and keep your ring finger and pinkie tucked into your palm. (Image 1)  \n  \n4.   Hold the ball firmly, applying pressure with your middle finger and thumb. Try not to let the ball rest in the palm of your hand, and keep your index finger relaxed. (Image 2)  \n  \n5.   Wind up into the pitch. Use the same pitching motion as in your other pitches so that the batter cannot predict a curveball. (Image 3)  \n  \n6.   Keep your wrist relaxed. After drawing back the pitch, hold your wrist so that the back of your hand points toward your body. (Image 4)  \n  \n7.   Roll your wrist downward and to the right (if you are right-handed) or to the left (if you're left-handed) immediately before releasing the pitch. (Image 5)  \n  \n8.   Release the pitch and follow through by bending your wrist. A right-hander should finish with the palm facing in toward the chest. The top of your thumb should be facing up.  \n  \n9.   Throw the ball between the batter and home plate if you're a left-handed pitcher facing a left-handed batter or if you're a right-handed pitcher facing a right-handed batter. \n\nSee pics at the linked page:

throwing a good spiral takes a bit of practice, so dont worry if it takes you awhile. here's how i do it:\n\ngrip the ball with whichever hand you use by the end of the laces, with your thumb and index finger near the top of the football while the other fingers line up with the laces.\n\nnow here's the tricky part:\n\nto make it spiral, throw it forward while rolling it with the end of your fingertips..and if it wobbles after you throw it, then cut back on the amount of force you use to throw it forward; just do what comes naturally and you should be throwin spirals in no time.

When the ball's on your side, don't let it hit the ground and when you hit it to the other side, hit it hard and make sure it goes inbounds where no one on the other team is able to return it.  That's about it.

1.   Grip the ball as you would a four-seamed fastball. The index and middle fingers should be on top of the ball across the seams at the widest point. Hold the fingers about 1/2 inch apart from one another.  \n  \n2.   Place the thumb under the ball across the seam and curl the ring finger and pinkie along one side. The two smallest fingers should make little contact with the ball's surface.  \n  \n3.   Hold the ball with your fingertips away from the palm of your hand.  \n  \n4.   The index finger and thumb should provide all the pressure. The middle finger releases the ball.  \n  \n5.   Go into your wind-up. Remember to pivot and shift your body weight from the back foot forward toward home plate.  \n  \n6.   Turn your wrist inward in a corkscrew motion just before releasing the pitch. This rotation is the opposite of a curveball. For left-handed pitchers, the ball should break down and away from right-handed hitters.  \n  \n7.   Follow through the ball as if it were a fastball. Your feet should parallel each other at the end of the pitch, and your throwing arm should come across the front of your body.   \n\nWarning: The screwball is an advanced pitch that will cause arm damage. Practically no major leaguers use this pitch anymore.

Yes - roll a ball down a hill. It has linear inertia (the balls center of mass moving down the hill) and rotational inertia (the ball is spinning while it moves down the hill).

Remember this rule: The lower the cross, the faster the ball travels. The trick is to keep it no higher than knee level. Plus you have to have enough room to do it and remember to travel in a straight line when the defender's faked out. The best moves in the world are useless without the knowledge of how to use them.

According to the topic guidelines, you are talking about soccer.  If so, depending on the area involved, I would say that dribbling in circles--inside of the foot, then outside of the foot--change feet, go the other way.  Then work up to doing it with your eyes closed.(Good basketball players don't look at their hands).\nJuggling-keep the ball close to you, no more than 2 ft in the air 10 to 20 times each foot, and each thigh, then the head.  This improves your touch, and helps you when you progress to more difficult skills,  such as taking a ball on the fly, touching it to your feet, lifting it over an opponent, and changing direction immediately , even before it reaches the ground.\nIf you ever saw the movie "the karate kid", you know what "wax on, wax off" means.  Work the small fundamentals until they are second nature, and the difficult skills are easier to master.\nOther moves to practice are step-overs, with a change of direction, roll-overs(where you roll the ball left or right with either foot by passing the foot over the top of the ball) with a change of direction, and pull-backs, where you move the ball forward, then pull it back by putting your foot on the top of the ball and pulling it back, followed by a quick change of direction.\nThere are lots of instructional materials out there, and a good skills coach is always a good source, but my experience\nleads me to say: learn 3 good moves--perfect them--and use them to the best of your ability.  Add others AFTER you have these down perfectly.Good luck.

The first step is to establish a proper grip, putting two fingers (index and middle) around a seam of a baseball. Then pull back behind your head and during the act of throwing pull down on the ball to produce the rotation, releasing the ball at the proper point.\n(the two links are alternate grips for a curveball)\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1761.JPG\nhttp://www.hellbored.com/uploader/uploads3/DSCN1762.JPG

spread your fingers on the ball and keep your elbows in......

first recognize that its a curve by its spin. (It should be spinning on a sort of axis around the top area of the baseball.) Then just wait on it and swing. Be careful if it starts outside because if its any good it will curve out of your reach,also watch for the inside curve because it will break in for a strike. (This is for a righty pitching to a righty)
