Awesome Soccer Moves - How To Learn and Teach
We both know that it's not easy to teach and learn soccer moves without easy step-by-step instructions and video clips, so the players and kids can easily understand how they are performed... and learn. I think the easiest way to learn and teach new soccer moves easily, is to watch video clips of a specific soccer move and follow step-by-step instructions at the same time. Here's an example: 1. “Step-over 180º turns" (using inside/outside of the foot) Step 1: Begin as though you were going to do in-betweens, with the ball between your feet. Step 2: Put your weight on your left foot and bring your right foot up over the ball, turning counter clockwise and placing it on the ground to the left of the ball. Step 3: Next, pivot on the right foot in a clockwise direction so you are facing the ball again and you can move in the other direction. Sounds easy enough? You could also fake the step-over and just ouch your right foot down before spinning back around and taking the ball with the outside of the right foot in a new direction. This step-over is one of the greatest soccer moves for fakes and feints. The key is to make the step-over look like a shot, pass, or lunge. Another example... 2. "Double Scissors" Step 1: Begin by dribbling the ball between your feet. Step 2 : Place your right foot to the right of the ball and swing your left leg in a counter clockwise direction from the inside of the ball to the outside of the ball. Step 3 : Repeat in the other direction with the other foot. Step 4 : This is an inside-to-outside step-over with the left foot. From here you will move the ball back to the right with the outside of the right foot and accelerate in this direction. You can perform and teach these soccer moves to the front of the ball, front side scissors, or from the back with the step-over mostly behind the ball, back side scissors. Key Point: The key is to make your opponent believe the step-over is truly a move to the left. Now go out there and try it and come up with your own variations. Good Luck!
