INSTALL BATTERIES BEFORE HANGING

Game Installation - Option 1

WITH REMOVABLE WALL HOOKS

1. Select wall where Galaxy Stars™ Soccer Game Mat will be hung.

Make sure the selected wall is strong enough to hold the unit,

and located in a room with the dimensions of 8 ft by 12 ft or

larger.

2. Adhesive for the removable wall hooks works best on smooth,

clean surfaces. Clean the hanging wall with isopropyl rubbing

alcohol. Do not use other household cleaners or wipes; they

can make the wall surface slippery.

3. Place the Game Hanging Template (GHT) on the wall with

masking tape (FIGURE B). Make sure holes on top of the GHT

are level and the bottom edge is ush with the oor.

4. Separate one adhesive strip from the group and remove the

back liner, marked “wall side.”

5. Center the strip inside a dedicated cut-out (FIGURE C). Apply to

the wall, pressing rmly across the entire strip for 30 seconds.

Repeat this step for the 3 remaining adhesive strips.

6. Once all 4 adhesive strips have been applied, remove the GHT

and fold neatly for future use.

7. Remove the facing liner from one of the applied adhesive

strips. Take a plastic hook and carefully line it up with the strip

(FIGURE D). Press the plastic hook rmly with even pressure for

30 seconds. Repeat this step for the 3 remaining hooks.

8. Let removable hooks and adhesive bond for 1 hour before

hanging game.

9. Along the top edge of the playing mat are 4 fabric loops. Hang

each of the 4 loops on it’s own hook. Make sure all hooks and

loops are secure before playing.

neatly for future use.

5. Place a plastic anchor into one of the holes and hammer it in

until it is ush with the wall (FIGURE G). Repeat this step for the

3 remaining anchors.

• 3-4 steps back are sucient to properly shoot the ball with

power and accuracy.

• Stand behind the ball, slightly to the left if you are right footed

or slightly to the right if you are left footed.

• Pick a target and don’t change your decision before shooting.

• When you kick the ball, make sure that your non-kicking foot

lands as close as possible to the ball. The nearer to the ball your

standing foot is when contact, the better control you’ll have

over where the ball goes.

• For ultimate power use instep and inside area of the feet to

drive the ball into the back of the net. Strike through the center

of the ball and follow through.

• For more accuracy, shoot the ball hard and low at your target by

using the inside of the foot.

• Keep your knee and head over the ball when shooting.

• Keep your hips squared to your target and head down over the

ball when sooting.

• Following through with your shot will guide the ball in the right

direction. Think of your leg like a pendulum swinging straight

through the ball.

• When your foot lands, make sure it is pointed toward your

target.

• Hit the ball with power but don’t hit the ball as hard as you can.

• As you strike the ball, make sure you bend your knees, you are

balanced and have a strong center of gravity.

• Land on your shooting foot.

• In order to bend your shot you’ll need to contact the ball with

the inside of your foot. Kick the ball slightly to the right or left of

it’s center to make it start spinning and follow through.

• Trapping refers to stopping the ball by cushioning it (soft feet)

so that it is easy to control. Allowing for a quick, accurate next

move.

• Practice kicking the ball against the mat and trapping it on the

rebound. Trap the ball with nesse to create a rst good touch

to set up an open shot and goal.

• The trick to trapping the ball is to absorb the ball with your feet,

take away it’s momentum. The best technique for trapping the

ball involves using the inside of the foot with the sole or laces

of the shoe.

• The key to trapping a soccer ball is to leave it within three feet of

yourself. To ensure the nest touch is a quick shot on goal. Focus

on positioning in line with the ball, quickly lift the foot slightly

o the ground, keep the ankle locked and the toe up. The foot

should be rm enough that the pace of the ball doesn’t disturb

the angle, raise elbows away from the body. This helps a player

maintain balance while on one foot. Move the foot backwards

slightly on contact. This deadens the ball, try to absorb and

catch the ball with your foot.

Half Volley Shot

TIPS & FUNDAMENTALS

• Prepare for the ball quickly and stay on your toes with your

arms out for balance. Get ready to adjust quickly because it’s

hard to determine the location of the ball and the speed before

you take the shot.

• Put your place foot down and your shooting foot up. This

should happen in a split second, right before the ball reaches

you. Angle your body so that you face your target. Volleying

correctly is all about timing.

• The standing foot should aways be behind the ball, and far

enough to the side to allow the kicking leg to swing and follow

through with ease.

• The right technique for hitting volleys involves planting one foot

and turning into the ball with the striking foot parallel to the

ground, when connecting with the ball.

• As the ball approaches, raise the knee and extend the ankle

with the toes pointing downwards. Locked parallel to oor.

• Wait until the ball starts dropping before you kick. Kick a half

volley like a regular shot. Remember to kick the center of the

ball and follow through, and focus more on keeping the ball

low.

• Have your knee over the ball on a volley kick, and keep your

body center and your head down; you’ll be able to control the

ball, and focus to keep your shot low.

• If the soccer ball is above your knees a half side volley kick

would be your best shot on goal. By swiveling your body around

the planted foot (non shooting foot) will act as a pivot, it helps

turn your shoulder, so the shoulders are pointed towards the

ball and then let your hips follow. Striking the ball at its center

with the laces of your foot.

• Strike the volley like you would a standard kick (but ease up

a little bit). Kick the center of the ball and follow through with

your shot. Use the inside of your foot or your laces to kick a

volley. A laces volley is more powerful while an inside volley is

more accurate.

• A rm ankle and extended knee helps put more power in the

volley.

• Keep the head down and shoulders square and follow through.

Use the laces or instep area of the feet to drive the ball into the

back of the net.

• Remember as always, follow up your shot, you will get a

chance to score many points with a half volley. Don’t stop, keep

shooting until the whistle blows. Practice makes perfect! Good

luck; you’re a star!
