For the Volley Kick go to 4:24
This is my son Ryley only 19 months old. His older bother and sister play soccer for our local club and we bought the size 1 ball for him earlier in the year.
Compared to other videos of toddlers I have seen, he actually kicks the ball rather than run into the ball. He also has the co-ordination to do drop kicks and punts as you you see in the video as well.
I would like any suggestions as to what (and when) I should do next to help develope his skills.

That’s pretty amazing. My son is also 19 months and he just does the “run into the ball” thing and then does a goal celebration (runs around in circles until he’s dizzy and then falls down). I was happy enough with that :P
I haven’t seen many kids kicking the ball around other than my own but that drop kick just seems way more advanced coordination than a regular 19 month old.
