What is a "volley kick"?
A volley kick in soccer is when a player strikes the ball while it is in the air, before it hits the ground. This technique is typically used to quickly send the ball toward the goal or to pass it to a teammate without letting it touch the ground. Volleys can be performed with different parts of the foot, such as the instep or the side, depending on the angle and desired direction of the ball. This skill requires good timing and coordination, as the player must connect with the ball while it is still airborne.
Examples

The striker attempted a volley kick but missed the target.
