squats and leg extensions are very good for punting and kicking, especially for kicking

You can do these drills with poles or cones:\n\nhttp://expertfootball.com/training/dribbling_drills.php\n\nhttp://www.flashdrills.com/static_drills/dslalom.htm\n\nThere are some other, more general drills here:\n\nhttp://www.flashdrills.com/static_drills/dtoc.htm?CFID=3765340&CFTOKEN=70830674

Play Fullback or tight end.  Next join the track team and work as hard as you can.  Next thing you know you'll get a little quicker and can be even better.

Practice and experience.\nI was given a little trick to learn well.\nGo stand on the goal line at a local football field (preferably when nobody is around).  The grass is usually cut low enough to be similiar to a light rough.  Then just hit out some balls and track where they land - mark your shortest, your longest and your average.\nDo that with each club until you have a good idea of the distances.  Write it down and you can keep it in your bag to refer to when you are out on the course.

The above are good, but there's a couple things missing. First, you need to get with one of your coaches and have them teach you how to run proper routes. As a QB, you more than anyone else should realize how important it is to run routes correctly and not round them off. Second, you need to get someone to throw bricks to you (no Im not kidding). Catching bricks will help you learn to catch with your hands first, instead of trying to trap the ball against your body (if you trap a brick against your chest a couple times, I promise it will help break you of the habit.) Good receivers don't wait for the ball to come into their body; they pluck it out of the air, and that's what the brick drill will enforce. Obviously you don;t want someone winging bricks at your head, but I think you understand what I mean. You do have to be careful though, cause it's real easy to break your fingers if you grab it wrong, and of course it's gonna not feel too good if you miss and it hits you in the chest/gut/manbag or lands on your foot. Again, talk to your coach and I'm sure he can show you the right way to run the drill.

You'll need to do lots of stretching exercises and lots of running to get your fitness levels up. Weights are also useful but it's not as important to be bulky in Aussie Rules as it is in Rugby League or Union, where tackling is the main game. It's good to be able to jump high in Aussie Rules as well so practice that as well as kicking, punting etc

I use the leg extension and leg curl to strengthen your kick.  Practice lifting with separate legs on the leg extension.

You want to be able to control the ball well so practice that and other than that just build up ur endurance by doing long runs and ontinuous sprinting, strength always helps, no matter what sport ur playing

You need a good head on your shoulders first. This enables you to make snap decisions that will put you in the play. I also suggest conditioning. I mean running ablility is a must. If you can't run you can catch or out run someone else. Agility and flexability is a must. You must be able to move in different directions in an instant. If you are not flexible you will be more prone to injuries. Other than this you need good hands. Your hands play an essential part of the game. You  must catch the ball, throw the ball and use your hands to hold someone to tackle them and even use them to push them off of you to get to the play or to gain yardage. These are a few things you should work on to be a good football player. Attitude, confidence, hard work, determination and being coachable will help extremely. I hope this helps. JT Lay

I know what you mean, Ive been playing for 7 years,and I'm also 14, I'm usually mid or forward and am short also so i have the same problem.... I will give you the advice my coach gave me... dribble the ball a couple of times then when you go to kick watch to see where you're other foot is. Lets say you are right mid, so you would kick the ball with your right foot, so your left foot should be very close to the ball not right beside it but if you put the top of your left foor near the center of the ball then move it over about 2 inches (depends on your shoe size) then you will see your aim and your kick will be harder. It will take some getting used to but if you practice every day you can have it down in probably a week then it would seem like you always kicked that way.\nAlso, after you do that you can learn how to kick with your laces, if you already don't know how, I learned that and I can know kick it twice as hard with my laces, or kick it up withmy laces then head it far... either way. Take baby steps with it though.

dont concentrate so much on the meals! eh, become an all-round player, focus on speed, agility, reaction and of course ball handling...your shot will develop by itself, just make sure you practice passing,passing and passing. Passing equals goals.

Well, I don't know who Juninho is, but I know how to kick good. You have to lock you ankle with your foot as parallel with your leg as it can be. It's best to take 2 or 3 step away from the ball and at an angle of about the same length. You can try standing right behind the ball, then step twice back then side step twice to the left (for a right footed kick). Once your in place take a couple steps and end up with your plant foot right next to the ball, pointing in the direction you want the ball to go. Follow through with your right leg, bending slightly over the ball the drive a ground ball, or leaning back to get it up into the air. I find it very easy to get a strong, high shot in doing this. When your kicking, the ball shood be hitting a certain part of your foot. For best results do this. If you start at you big toe and go up, there is a bone that sort of sticks out. The ball should be hitting around there. My big toe usually scrapes the ground when I kick, making the ball lift and get a curve to it. That's pretty much how you do it, hope it helps, and you may not get it the first time, just practice hard!

Pylometric Exrcises can help to greatly increase the power of your kick and the height of your jump.\n\nRicochets – \n1. Mark out 15 meters with cones.\n2. Keeping your feet together, start at one cone and do small fast jumps to the end.\n3. For this exercise the emphasis should be on speed and rate of leg movement rather than height.\n4. Each 15 meters is 1 set.\n\nBounding – \n1. Mark out 12 small cones or obstacles about 3 feet apart in a straight line.\n2. Start behind the first obstacle in a semi squat position.\n3. Jump as high and far as possible over each obstacle. It's a good idea to practice first to gauge how far apart you should set the markers. Again try to minimize ground contact time.\n4. Each jump is 1 repetition.\n\nLateral Jumps – \n1. Stand alongside a bench, box or cone approximately 30cm high. \n2. Keeping your feet hip distance apart jump sideways as high over the obstacle as possible. \n3. Immediately jump back to the start position minimizing ground contact time. This counts as one repetition.\n4. Make sure you discipline yourself to jump as high as possible. \n\nSide-Jump Sprint – \n1. Place a cone 14-19 meters in front of the starting point to act as the finish line.\n2. Stand on 1 one side of a bench or obstacle, facing the starting line, with feet together.\n3. Begin by jumping sideways back and forth over the bench for 2 repetitions.\n4. On landing on the last jump, explode forward into a sprint to the finish line. \n5. Anticipate the landing and be ready to sprint forward, emphasis should be on acceleration.\n6. This counts as 1 repetition.\n\nDepth Jumps – \n1. Stand on a box, bench, or sturdy chair approximately 30-40 cm high.\n2. Step off the bench and as soon as you land explode vertically as high as you can. This counts as 1 repetition.\n3. Try to minimize ground contact time.
