A banana kick or sometimes called a check side kick is when the ball goes in the air as a banana shape or a boomerang.
This kick is usually kicked when kicking at goals on a tight angle on the wrong side. What this means is that if your a right footer and on the right (looking at the goals) and visa-versa for a left footer.
Steps to kick a banana/ check side kick
- Place your guiding hand (hand that guides ball onto foot) near the top of football.
- Other hand opposite side and near bottom of football.
- Ball should be placed at a 45 degree angle.
- Guiding hand guides ball to foot.
- The half of the football nearest to you hits the foot.
- Follow through with foot.
Extra tips
- Depending were the foot hits depends on the angle the ball projects in air.
- Count for the wind as it can take the ball from the correct angle (or it can help).
- Practice kicking the banana/ check side kick along the ground.
