To curve a soccer ball, kick the ball on low left or right side, depending on where you want it to spin, with the center inside of your foot. Bringing your leg across your body will add extra curve and power to the kick. Proper follow through, ball contact location, and power are essential to curve a soccer ball.

Strike the ball in the bottom right quadrant and hit the ball farther inside your foot almost in the middle part between your toe and your heel. Keep your foot planted as your striking legs curved around in the motion you want the ball to follow.

Why does a soccer ball curve when you kick it? A soccer ball curves because of the spin applied onto it when struck by way of an angled run-up and an off-centre point of initial contact. This rotation is what causes the ball to bend, as aerodynamic forces generated from the spin cause a change in air pressure which alters its intended flight path.
