I am helping out with a local girls JV soccer team. A few of the players insist on kicking the ball with their toe. I have tried everything I can think of to get them to use their laces including taping their shoes and telling them to connect the ball with the tape. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break this habit?

I have noticed this problem in some of the jr. high girls that I coach and a drill I use is I have the girls dribble the ball down the field using the top of their foot so they can get used to connecting with the ball. Once they know how its supposed to feel and get comfortable with it you can teach them proper kicking formation. Remember it takes a long time to break a habbit.
