sports soccerWhat is the average speed of a soccer ball when kicked?
Also asked, how fast can a soccer ball be kicked?
Penalty kicks are taken from a distance of 12yards away from the goal. The strongest shooters can kick atspeeds of up to 80 mph. This means that the ball reaches thegoal line in 500 milliseconds. A goalkeeper takes 600 millisecondsto move from the center of the 24-foot-wide goal to one of theposts.
Subsequently, question is, how fast can Ronaldo kick a soccer ball?
But the fastest ball was kicked byBrazilian left-back Ronny Heberson who kicked theball at the speed of 132 Miles per hour on a freekick against Naval. But now its Cristiano Ronaldo whohas the strongest kick.
Obviously it is a hard thing to record and measurementswere not taken in the early days of the game.
- David Hirst - Sheffield Wednesday - 1996. 114 mph.
- David Beckham - Manchester United - 1997. 97.9 mph.
- David Trezeguet - AS Monaco - 1998. 96 mph.
- Ritchie Humphreys - Sheffield Wednesday - 1996. 95.9 mph.
