Abstract
A soccer ball kicking training device assists a player so that his or her plant foot are correctly positioned with respect to the target line. A foot positioning pad includes a foot outline indicia and is attached to an adjustable cross member. The other end of the cross member is attached to an offset member which supports a ball positioning pad. An arrow points in the direction of the plant foot towards the target line. The player positions his or her plant foot adjacent to the indicia and adjusts the length of the cross-member so that the member is approximately shoulder width. The foregoing positions the soccer ball slightly behind the plant foot and “squares” the players shoulders so that when the player kicks the ball the ball goes in the line of the arrow and directly towards the target.
