| Turning Fakes: |
| Pull backs | ||
| This is a cousin to the "outside and inside" rolls as discussed above but it "scrapes" the ball backwards. Start with the ball between your feet. Fake up to the top of the ball with your right foot in a kicking motion, but stop with your cleats on top of the ball. Then "pull-back" the ball by "scraping" your cleats backwards to get the ball rolling behind you. Now you can turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to face the ball again. If you used your right foot to "pull-back" and you turn clockwise or towards the pull-back leg it is a "turn-with pull-back". If however, your turn counterclockwise away from the right leg, it is a "turn-away pull-back". You should learn them both. The "turn-away pull-back" is the better of the two since you can continue to face a defender while you change direction and not "spin" away from him and risk losing site of him and his attempt at a steal. | AVI

| Inside/Outside Cuts with Fake Kick (a.k.a. Chop Turns) | ||
| Everyone knows how to cut the ball with the inside and outside of the feet. The difference in this move is to cut the ball very "sharply" backwards to the inside or outside, and set it up with a fake kick. Begin by dribbling forward. Touch the ball a little in front of your feet, plant your left foot near the ball and wind up with your right leg like you are going to shoot (or kick the ball hard). Instead of shooting you bring your right leg down in a "chopping" motion to cut the ball backwards across the front of your body. It has to be a very sharp cut back towards your left foot and maybe even in towards yourself. You may even have to hop out of the way with your left foot. Then continue in that new direction and do another with the left foot. This is known as the "inside cut". The "outside cut" begins the same, but after the fake right kick, instead of "chopping" down of the ball, you "sweep" it away with the outside of your right foot away from the defender. This is a less aggressive move and actually shields the ball as well. | AVI clip "inside cuts" highlights clip #1 - 592kb AVI clip "outside cuts" highlights clip #2 - 440kb highlights clip #3 - 172kb highlights clip #4 - 287kb |

| Stepover 180 turns | ||
| Start with the ball between your feet, as it is during your "in-betweens". Put your weight on your left foot as you swing your right foot up and over the ball (turning counter-clockwise towards the left). Plant the right foot down on the left side of the ball and step down. (This is the "stepover" part of the move and will be used in lots of fakes and feints). Now using that right foot as a pivot, spin (turning clockwise this time) around with your left foot, back towards the ball. Once you have turned a 180, take the ball with your left foot and begin to move in the other direction. The initial stepover move is also known as a "Rivelino" stepover and sometimes this turn is called a "Rivelino" turn. | AVI clip "inside foot takeaway" highlights clip #1 - 294kb AVI clip "outside foot takeaway" highlights clip#2 - 219kb |
|
Back to Top| Inside & Outside Shield turns. (a.k.a. 3/4 turns or "Spin Turns") | ||
| If the inside cut is the most basic move in dribbling then the "shield turns" sometimes referred to as "3/4 shield turns" are a powerful way to use it. Start by dribbling forward towards a cone or mark that represents the defender. Just before reaching the mark, begin a series of sharp inside cuts with the inside of the right foot. The first cut turns you to the left, then immediately follow with another cut to be facing backwards, and immediately with another cut to end up facing to what initially was to your right. There should not be any extra steps between ball touches. The entire time the ball is shielded and multiple opportunities for lateral and trail passes are available. When done properly the dribbler can actually "shake-off" the defender and continue downfield. | AVI

|
| Cruyff Turn | ||
| Start by dribbling the ball forward and plant your left foot near the ball as your right leg "winds-up" for a big kick or shot. Instead of shooting however, bring the right foot down and "chop" the ball backwards and underneath your left leg. You may even have to do a little "hop" or "skip" with your left foot to get it out of the way. The difference between this move and the "turn-away pull-back" is that the "Cruyff" uses the "chop" with the inside of the foot while the pull-back uses a "scrape-roll" with the sole of the shoe. | AVI clip K.C.

|
| Half Garrincha | ||
| From a full run, stop the rolling ball by briefly tapping the top of it with the sole of the right foot. Allow your momentum to sway a little forward as you lift the right foot off the top of the ball and "hop" onto the ground (just beyond the stopped ball). Now your left foot comes up and rests on the ball with the cleats as you turn to the side. | AVI

| Fakes to Beat an Opponent: |
| Lunges. (a.k.a. Dummy Step Move) | ||
| The lunge is a very versatile move that works standing still or at a dead run. Start dribbling the ball forwards then abruptly lunge (take a long deep step) with your left foot, to the left of the ball. Plant your left foot hard and take the ball back to the right with the outside of the right foot, on the diagonal. Accelerate. or as I like to phrase it - FAKE and FLY! | AVI clip highlights clip- 212kb highlights clip #2 - - (use Quicktime) |
|
| Double Lunges | ||
| Once the defenders catches on to the "lunge left - go right" concept, they will not be fooled as often. Then it's time for an occasional "double lunge". Here instead of lunging left and then taking the ball to the right you lunge both directions and then "go". So, lunge left followed by a big step (lunge) to the right with the right foot, but then take the ball back to the left, with the outside of the left foot. | AVI

|
| Pull V's (a.k.a. Pullback V or "Puskas") | ||
| Start with the ball between your feet. Begin with a rapid movement with your right foot to the top of the ball and stop briefly with your cleats on top. This motion should make it appear like you are passing the ball, or taking the ball to your left side, across your body. Instead, keep your weight on your left foot and "scrape" from the inside to the outside with your right foot. This gets the ball rolling back to your right. Then turn your hips to the right and touch it with the inside of the right foot to deflect it off to the right on a diagonal. Repeat with the right foot several times and then switch to the left. | AVI clip highlights clip #1 - (needs Quicktime) highlights clip #2 - (needs Quicktime) |
|
| Pullback "L" and Simple "L" (see also Fake Kick - Push Outside below) | ||
| This is the sister move to the "V" move described above. Start with the ball between your feet. Begin with a rapid movement with your right foot to the top of the ball and stop briefly with your cleats on top. This fake kick motion should make it appear like you are passing the ball, or taking the ball to your left side, across your body. Instead, keep your weight on your left foot and "scrape" from the inside to the outside and behind, (like a pull-back) with your right foot. When the ball gets slightly behind you, tap it behind your left leg to the left side. Turn to the left and dribble off in that direction. | AVI clip - Pullback "L" AVI clip - Simple "L" highlights clip #1 - 257kb |
|
| Scissors | ||
| This is a lunge type move using an inside to outside stepover. It's a decent move but sometimes awkward to perform at high speed. Start dribbling with the ball between your feet. Plant your right foot next to the right side of the ball and swing your left leg around the ball in a counterclockwise arc, from the inside (right side) of the ball to the outside (left side) of the ball. This is an "inside to outside" stepover with the left foot. Then plant that left foot down and take the ball back to the right with the outside of the right foot. Accelerate! | AVI clip highlights clip #1 - 189kb highlights clip #2 - 351kb |
|
| Double Scissors | ||
| Once the defenders catches on to the "scissors left - go right" concept, they will not be fooled as often. Then it's time for an occasional "double scissors" or "multiple scissors". Here instead of a scissors left and then taking the ball to the right you do scissor type stepovers in both directions and then take the ball. So, scissors with the left followed by an identical scissors-lunge with the right foot, and then finally take the ball back to the left, with the outside of the left foot. | AVI clip highlights clip - 337kb multiple scissors clip - 675kb 2scissors & cryuff - 371kb |
|
| Fake Kick - Push Outside (also sometimes called Puskas)& Fake Kick Cut Inside | ||
| This is a lunge type move but instead of a lunge to the left by stepping out with the left foot, you fake a kick to the left using your right foot. Then before putting that right foot back down, push off your still planted left foot, and take the ball to the right with the outside of the right foot. Accelerate! | AVI clip - "Push Outside" AVI clip - "Cut Inside" R-highlight_clip #1- 669kb highlights clip #2 - 344kb |
|
| Rivelino. (Stepover-push outside or a.k.a. Reverse Scissors) | ||
| This is a lunge type move which involves a stepover like the scissors but in the opposite direction. Plant your left foot behind and to the left of the ball and swing your right foot around (or over) the ball in a counterclockwise arc, from the outside right around to the inside left. Then push off your still planted left foot to the right, and take the ball with the outside of your right foot. Accelerate! As the highlight clips show, players often combine this move with scissor stepovers and drag rolls. If you perform the "Rivelino" outside to inside stepover, and then take the ball completely back in the opposite direction, then it becomes more like a "stepover turn" or a "stepover 180". | AVI clip Rivelino "variation" #1- 266kb multiple scissors & Rivelino #2 - 315kb Rivelino and then Scissors #3 - (needs Quicktime) |
|
| Matthews. (a.k.a. Inside Out Move or "Touch and Go") | ||
| Dribble forward and then with the inside of your right foot, touch the ball slightly to the left, as if you were going to cut that way. Instead, push off the left foot and take the ball back to the right with the outside off the right foot. It is essential to add a "little hop" to the left (with both feet) when beginning this move while you are lightly touching the ball to the inside. This keeps the left foot out of the way and in a better more balanced position to "drive" off sharply to the right. | AVI clip Multi-tap-Matthews- 378kb clip#1 - simple Matthews- 281kb |
|
| Fake Matthews (a.k.a. Matthews Stepover or Matthews Scissors) | ||
| This move starts just like the Matthews complete with the all important "little hop" (with both feet) to initially move the ball to the inside. But instead of taking the ball back to the outside you step past the ball with the right foot towards the right in a little lunge motion. Then you take the ball away with the outside of the left foot to the left. After the first hop and touch, the rest of the move feels a lot like a double lunge. | AVI clip K.C. Legends mpeg |
|
| Reverse Matthews | ||
| With this move the ball is pushed to the outside with a slight touch and the all important "little hop" (with both feet). Then it is taken quickly back to the inside with the inside of the right foot with a sharp cut. | AVI clip highlights clip #1 - 582kb clip #2 - "flipflap" variation- 530kb |
|
| Half Preki | ||
| Begin with a little lean or lunge out to the right side of the ball by lifting your right foot and stepping down lightly beside the ball. Do not put any weight onto this right foot. Instead shift your weight to the left and plan to "scrape" your cleats over the top of the ball, from the right side to the left, to begin it rolling to the left. After the ball has crossed completely in front of your body, use the inside of your left foot to touch it forward around the defender. Accelerate! | AVI clip highlights clip - 253kb |
|
| Full Preki | ||
| This move begins very much the same as above, but after the drag roll to the left, add a "step-over" (a Rivelino-like move) with the left foot - then as the ball continues to the left take it away with the outside of the left foot. On the highlights clips you will see the pro's add a lot more. | AVI clip highlights clip - 322kb clip #2 -Full Preki & more- 321kb clip #3 ends with a "reverse chip"(needs Quicktime) |
|
| Maradona and Garrincha | ||
| This move is a spinning move. I teach it by learning the 3 components. Stop, Hop and Spin. Dribble the ball forward and then stop it with the sole (cleats) of your right shoe by briefly putting your foot on top of the ball. Then hop that same foot over to the other side of the now motionless ball. For an instant, you have "straddled" the ball. Finally, spin (counterclockwise) over the top of the ball and as your left foot reaches the ball pull it with you by scraping across the top. This will cause it to roll with you as you complete the spin to face the original direction. As you become more proficient, the middle part of the move (the hop-turn ) is done with both feet in the air for an instant.This describes the "Garrincha". Don't hesitate to change direction as you complete the spin and head off into open space for a pass or shot.
A "Maradona" is similar but instead of initially stopping the ball with the cleats, the ball is pulled back and slightly to the side where it is collected by the other foot as the player spins over the top of the ball. See Zidane in the highlight clip above "smoke" a perfectly executed Maradona. But like the Garrincha, it still involves an initial touch with the sole of the first foot, and then a rapid spin to collect the ball with the sole of the other foot. |

| Stop and Go (drag roll, stop hop, and Beardsley) | ||
| Begin with your right foot on the ball with your cleats touching the top. Scrape your foot to the left to set the ball into motion, rolling to the left. Then stop it for an instant with your left foot, before you quickly "scrape" it again and get it rolling again to the left. Review the K.C.Legends clips for 2 other variations. The Beardsley is sometimes referred to as a "Hip Swivel". | AVI clip - "drag roll" Stop, Hop, Play Beardsley highlights clip #3 with Cruyff -(needs Quicktime) |
|
| Scotch Moves (three variations - "straight"/"stepover"/"step-on"(Kenzie) | ||
| These are all moves that redirect the ball underneath the leg, (but in a different fashion than the Cruyff or "pullback L"). The basic manuever ("straight Scotch", if you will) starts with stepping over the ball with the left foot. After placing that foot down use the inside of your right foot to tap it underneath your left leg and off to the left side at an angle. Turn to the left and take it with your left foot. Yes, this is similar to the famous Cruyff but doesn't really start with a fake kicking motion and then a chopping movement. It is more of a quick little "tap" underneath the support foot.
The "stepover" variation uses the left foot to momentarily stop the ball then it proceeds to step beyond the ball and finally the right foot finishes by cutting it underneath that left leg with the inside of the right foot. And the "step-on" or "drag-out" variation stops the ball and even "drags" it to the outside with the sole of the foot and then knocks it underneath the left foot which has stepped beyond the ball. |

| Drag Swerve | ||
| This move is similar to the Matthews without as much of a "little hop". Begin the ball rolling to the inside by dragging accross it with the sole of the right foot. Before touching the right foot to the ground, use the outside aspect to push the ball back to the outside. The left leg stays planted throughout the entire "swerve" motion and then pushes off in the new direction. | AVI clip | |
| Fake Drag-Swerve (a.k.a. "Drag-Scissors") | ||
| This move starts out just like the Drag Swerve with a little drag roll to the inside using the sole of the right foot. Then instead of "swerving" out with the outside of the right foot, you do a right footed scissors move, stepping over and around the front of the ball, finally taking it away with the outside of the left foot. It feels a little like the "full Preki" move which is a drag to the inside followed by a Rivelino stepover with the other foot, whereas here it is a "scissors" with the dragging foot. | AVI clip highlights clip #1 - 337kb |
|
| Outside-Inside Swerve (a.k.a. Reverse Drag-Swerve or "the Ronaldo") | ||
| This move is a swerve first to the outside and then back with the inside. The left foot stays planted while you push the ball out with the outside of the right foot. Without losing contact with the ball, switch the right foot around to the outside and then cut inwards accross your body with the inside of your foot and accelerate. This move is very similar to the "Reverse Matthews" but the left foot stays planted and doesn't do the "little hop" to the right at the beginning. | highlights clip #1 - 1,055kb highlights clip #2- 267kb |
|
| Inside-Inside Cuts (a.k.a. "Inside Cut Swerve") | ||
| This is another deceptively simple little move that I have seen work wonders. It begins as a sharp cut to the inside using the inside of the right foot, then immediately cut the ball back with the inside of the left foot to dart past the opponent. This has to go "bang-bang" with no steps in between the cuts. It feels a little like doing the actual inbetween drill in warmups, but you explode forward. | AVI clip highlights clip #1 - 156kb |
