The ways to kick a soccer ball.

There are a number of ways to kick a soccer ball, whether that's trying to shoot for power or bending the ball. There are also a number of different parts of the foot to use to kick a soccer ball, whether that's the outside of the foot or the laces. Here's a run down of all the ways you can shoot, pass, and kick a soccer ball, and which parts of the foot to use.

Instep - Use the top surface area of your shoe just before the laces begin. Do this when you want to strike the ball with power.  Land on your shooting foot when you want to increase the power. Keep your head down and your knee over the ball. Your hips should face where you want the ball to go.
Side of the Foot – Kick with the flat portion of your shoe. Turn your body to the right or left, depending upon which foot you are kicking with. This is used more for accuracy and placement. Pass the ball into the net. Strike the ball low and to the corners.
Outside of the Foot - Use the outer surface of the front part of your foot (also referred to as "tres dedos" or “three toes” in Brazil). It’s best used to bend the ball but it's important to strike through the center of the ball. 
Using the outside of your foot like this is common when you can't get to the ball on your foot just how you'd like to, say the keeper is rushing out to you in a one on one and there's just enough window at the far post, so you bend the ball around the keeper. Or, a player makes a run and you don't have time to set the ball up to your other foot so you first time it with the outside of the foot—bending the ball into their path. See some amazing. The key point when striking the ball with the outside of your foot, and really, whenever you're striking the ball, is to hit the center of the ball and strike the ball with power.

Inside of the Foot - Wrap your foot around the ball by using the inner surface of your foot. This move is also used to bend the ball, as above, except with the inner part of your shoe and the upper portion of your foot.
The Volley - This is striking the ball out of the air. Keep your ankle locked and drive through the ball. However, when striking the ball in the air, make sure you are in a balanced position and you are not reaching out too far to meet the ball. Otherwise, the ball will not go straight and in the direction you want it to. Try to have your hips square to the ball and follow through. Click here to see an amazing and perfect example
