The ball does not go very far and most of the time the other team will get it and then attack again. Have tried other tacking goal kicks but not much better.

Dead balls
1) get him/her to crunch his toes in
2) strike through the ball
3) give him/her a focus point to work on ie the valve or logo on panel
4) get him/her to have vision to kick aim it at a higher focal point
5) practice makes perfect and we have kids that can float a ball up to the half way line and just beyond - but not consistently under pressure
Drop balls
1) practice on your own with him/her
If he likes it in goal and is good and you want to work with him why bother to rotate?
