Q&A for How to Chip a Soccer Ball

Try to jam your toes under the ball and push out by flicking your ankle outwards.

Never use your toe. Using your toe will result in a lot of power, but little control. If you're doing a pass, you want to use the inside of your shoe, where the racing stripes are. This will help you receive the pass and fire it back at the same time. In receiving a pass, keep your leg loose to let it absorb the ball's momentum. If your leg is stiff, the ball will bounce off. Typically, wait one second or less after receiving the pass before passing it back. A one-touch pass is a lot of power but again, not a lot of control. Another type of pass which will give you a lot of air is to dig your toe into the ground and let the ball roll up on top of your foot, then lift your leg.

You can. As long as you follow up with it, you can get the ball back in your control and continue on!

You can half shoot it and half lift it with your foot to give it power and lift.

Yes, of, course, there is no rule against it. However, unless it is indirect, the goalie is likely to save it because it travels so slowly.
