The drop kick is a major feature of sevens rugby. It's used to start the game and re-start a game after a try. As a result you can expect more kick off's then any other set play. This shows how important this element of the game can be, a good drop goal kicker can mean the difference between winning and loosing a game.
The details below are a guide from Mike Hook the Backs and kicking coach for Pontypool.
Name: Mike Hook
Team: Pontypool, kicking coach
Place your hands either side of the ball. Your hands should be pointing down with finger tips just below the middle of the ball as shown in the illustration below.
Try and target a point roughly 5 meters past where your intend the ball to land. Focusing on this should help clear your mind of distractions and help you concentrate on your kick. Your looking to take 1 or 2 steps before kicking so judge your distance behind the line so your striking the ball just behind the line.
Hold the ball straight out in front at arms length as shown below, pointing your body roughly towards the corner flag. Take a step with your left foot planting a firm stance to provide a strong base for your kick. As you plant your foot release the ball from your outstretched arms. Aim for the ball to bounce 1 foot in front of your left boot.
As you drop the ball pick your right foot back, point your foot and strike through the ball, keeping your head down and body weight over the ball. Think about your target and concentrate on the follow through.
As you follow through keep your balance on your left foot light, adjusting position to control your right leg swinging through. Your right leg should act as a pendulum similar to a golf swing so the weight of your body swings through the ball. Don't try and force the kick the power will come from perfecting your technique.
