Dribbling Moves in Soccer for Beginners
Okay, let’s talk a little bit about one-on-one Soccer. I’m going to teach you three moves. First, is the step-over, second is called the Cruyff turn and third is the cut-back. Let’s start with the step-over. If you are going at an opponent, I am going at Katy right here you want to make her, you want to deceive her a little bit make her think we are going left, we’re gonna go right. How do we do that? Dip the shoulder stepping over the ball past her. We are going to go full-speed here so it’s one touch, dip and go. Okay, the second move is called the Cruyff turn. Katy here is doing a good job she is denying me this area of the field and it is difficult for me to go this way inside. All she has to do is have a foot out and she has got the ball. So I’m going to use the space over here, I want to fake a shot or a pass by my body’s moving forward my leg but I’m going to take my ankle turn it the ball is this way and I’m moving that way. Here we have the Cruyff Turn, full speed. Third move is called the cut-back. It is used to go inside your opponent when your opponent is over-playing you outside. See Katy right here is a little nervous she is backing up so she doesn’t want me to go this way so I’m going to fake going this way one touch here I fake a shot cut back inside of her.
