This move enables players to quickly change direction to avoid a defender.
- Each player dribbles a ball in the forward direction.
- The player then steps on the ball with the sole of their foot and drags or pulls it backwards or sideways and turns their body to then face the ball.
- The player can then continue to dribble the ball in the new direction.
Soccer truly is a fun, accessible, and popular sport. As with all sports, the more the focus is kept on age-appropriate, fun, skill-developing games, the more engaged your child will be with the sport and the more they will want to get out and play.
