Step How To Take a Direct FreeKicK.........

Step1
Place the ball firmly and take the direct free kicks from the point where the infringement occurred. The referee will note and mark the point. Moving the ball to another location will result in a foul.

Step2
Ensure that all opposing team players are at least 10 yards away from the soccer ball. Players from the same side can remain closer. Take a look around and observe where your teammates are positioned. Note the defensive tactic the other team is adapting. If they are setting up a defensive wall with a row of players, you will need to execute a shot whereby the ball swings around that human wall.

Step3
Kick the ball. You have three options when kicking. If you are close to the goal, you can attempt a direct goal with a driving shot, kicked with laces of the boot. Alternately, you will hit the ball with the inside of the boot. This will make the ball spin and swing in the air, making it curl around the goal keeper. If you are further away from the goal, you might want to kick the ball towards the player in the center forward position. That player, in turn, can take the shot at the goal.

Step4
Follow through the kick with the full swing of your leg over the soccer ball. Immediately after kicking, get into a position where you can regain control of the ball if you don't score and control of the ball is gained by the defensive team.

Step5
Avoid touching the ball after executing your kick. It's an infringement to do so until another player has touched the ball. If you do so, the opposing team will be awarded an indirect free kick.
