kicking accuracy

Aim with foot

Kicking accuracy is precision in directing a kicked ball toward its intended target.

The term appears most often in football contexts—a placekicker's field goal percentage, a punter's ability to pin opponents deep, or a soccer player's shot placement: His kicking accuracy from beyond forty yards dropped significantly in cold weather.
