Soccer Tricks

[penalty_20]

I kno wthere has been plenty of threads b4 this but maybe we can make a sticky so we dont need to keep making more
lets her ur best soccer tricks in detail street soccer or tricks to use in a game videos are helpful


Soccer Tricks (Ground)
Bicycle Kick: AKA: (The Pele Kick) when the ball is coming at you, you jump up in the air with your back parallel to the ground and kick the ball. When complete you land on your back. Bicycle Kick (
http://www.billhall.com/soccer_1.jpg)

Clayton: If you are on the line with your back facing the line and a defender face in front of you, drag the ball with your foot as if you were going to the corner flag. Than, as the ball is moving throw the foot you dragged with around the ball and cruyff with your other all in one motion. Now, you can dribble inward or put a nice cross into the 18.

Cross-Legger: AKA: (Maradona Kick) when the ball is on the right side of you, you bend your right knee and bring your left leg BEHIND your right knee and kick the ball. (Good for awquard situations, and off-leg kicks) Cross-Leg Kick (http://www.torneouniversitario.it/foto_video/maradona_playstation.jpg)

Cryuff Turn: take your right foot, and act as you are going to shoot the ball (or pass) and then at the last moment just push it behind your left foot, and run that way. Cruffy Video (Near Bottom) (
http://www.expertfootball.com/training/moves2.php#cruyff)

Dance: (AKA: Taps) While dribbling, if you are in a position where you can stop, put your foot on the ball than start doing tip-taps (jumping while alternating feet touching the top of the ball) to slow the pace down for a sec, to decieve your defenders. You think it sounds ridiculous, but when a defender sees you do that, he will lunge and throw himself into you, while you are easily able to cut/drag the ball around him.

Double SON: (See SON) take left foot step-over the ball to the right, use right leg to kick ball behind the left leg, then plant left foot, step-over the ball (WITH your right foot) to the left, and use your left foot to kick it behind your right foot. (Just doing the basic SON twice)

Double Step-Over Taking your right foot and steping over the ball to the right, and when your right foot is planted step over the ball with your left foot to your left. Double Step-over (http://www.expertfootball.com/training/dribbling_denilson.php)

Drag-Step Over: take your right foot and kick toward the left, and as soon as you kick it to the left, take your right foot and do a step over to the right, then continue going left. It's a great move if you can get your timing right...Like knowing when to do the step over and all.

Zidane Step-Over: a great move I just saw watching in one of Zidane's movies. He is running toward a defender, and steps over (his right foot went over the ball to the left) then he scooped the ball up with his right foot (as it rolled up on it) and just cut back right Zidane's Move (21st Second) (http://www.torneouniversitario.it/foto_video/zizou_spettacolo.jpg)

[Hollister_13]

...hope I can get a bunch of points on this post. :rolleyes:

Maradona - Dribble with the ball and roll the ball with the sole of your right foot diagonally to the right and back towards you. Then do a spin so your back is now facing the way you were dribbling. As you do the spin, collect the ball with the sole of your left foot and roll it back. Keep following through with your spin. Once you complete the spin, take off with the ball; controlling it first with your right foot.

Rainbow Kick - Start with the ball behind your left heel and with the instep of your right foot on the back of the ball. (directly behind your heel . . . with the ball inbetween) Lean forward a tad bit and roll the ball up your heel. Once it rolls up a little, flick the ball up and over your head.

Elastico - Use the toe/outside of your dominant foot and push the ball from the bottom left and quickly "flip" your foot around to the side the ball it is going, and push it back the other way. Explode away.

Double Step Over - Dribble towards an enemy defender. Swing your dominant foot around the ball from the inside-to-outside of the ball and then the same with your left. This should leave your opponent off balance. Take off with the outside of your right foot.

I have plenty more, but I will save the rest for others. If you have questions or comments, please do reply.

[bannanamano4]

Thers the the classic

Under the legs - Keep rolling the ball to the side then really wuickly tap he ball under his legs.

The robinho move - Do about like 3-5 of them , and then chose a side to go to he'll b reallly confused.

Lol you could just boot the ball into the defenders stomach pretending your gonna shoot it then you have one guy down

[SaberWolf]

Yes this is a topic that has been stated many times, and I beleive can be very helpful.

And bannanamano4, don't put "that move" and say how many times to do it, say the move, EXPLAIN the move, then comment on it.

But moves:

The Cruyff Turn: take your right foot, and act as you are going to shoot the ball (or pass) and then at the last moment just push it behind your left foot, and run that way.

Fake (Lunges): just lunging with your left or right leg as if you are going that way then come back to your original position.

Nutmeg: pulling the ball back with your right foot toward your left foot and using your left foot kick it through your opponent's legs (it can also be any movement resulting in the ball going between your oppoenent's legs)

Roulette (Zidane 360): a standing version of the Maradona, but at no time do both feet come off the ground at the same time.

Sombrero: when defender is coming at you with speed, just scooping the ball up and over his head as he speeds by.

[penalty_20]

yes wat is the robinhio move??
any one know any street soccer moves

[Rema]

Fabulous site... http://www.strongsoccer.com/Kingdrills/clipspractice.htm.

And because I prefer video over typing explanations;

Rainbow (http://www.nigerianwizardry.com/downloads/Okocha2_vs_Arsenal_2003.avi).

Stepover (with a roll before it) (http://www.nigerianwizardry.com/downloads/Okocha2_vs_ManchesterUnited_2003.avi).

Cryuff variation (http://www.nigerianwizardry.com/downloads/Ogbeche_vs_Rennes.mpg).

http://www.footballclips.net has a ton of videos (mainly ZIP files though).

and I had to put this in because well... take a look (Chilavert) (http://www.rrigamonti.com/calciofollie/video/superchila9.avi).

Wow I have so many bookmarked so, i'll get through them sometime and put them on here if they're good. Alot appear to be gone now though :(.

[Hollister_13]

Hollister_13's Post - Uh yeah, thanks Sabe for BOLDING the names of the moves . . . I forgot to do it to mine.

[Hollister_13]

Oh, and uh, thanks to whoever gave me reputation points . . . I need them badly. (I'm never doing a "Thief!" again, I'm -140 rep points)

[penalty_20]

wats the robinho??

[SaberWolf]

Oh sorry Hollister, I didn't know you didn't want your things bolded.

[RaulMadrid7]

come on guys... these are simple moves, try making some yourselves, I do these moves almost everyday and seeing them posted here is kinda funny but still for those who don't know them your doing a good job.

My advice to those of you who need help on tricks, get off that chair pick up a bal and find any useable flat surfaces to play on. :D

[SaberWolf]

Alright you want my moves?


SON (Step-Over Nutmeg): take left foot step-over the ball to the right (making defender open his legs) and then use your right foot to kick the ball behind your left, between the defenders legs.

Double SON: take left foot step-over the ball to the right, use right leg to kick ball behind the left leg, then plant left foot, step-over the ball (WITH your right foot) to the left, and use your left foot to kick it behind your right foot. (Just doing the basic SON twice)

Jumping Nutmeg: place your right foot right beside the ball, then as a defender stops jump to the left, but as your right foot is leaving the ground kick the ball between the defenders legs.

Leap Frog: easiest move EVER, no skill required, but no flash either. Using your left or right foot, just scoop the ball up (as you're running by the defender) and over his feet, so he has no chance to stop it.

Freeze Frame: I learned this from an Italian (great if done right). But you start leaning one way like you're going to fall, then lunge quickly, then just stop, and go back to normal stance and THEN blow by him, the first lunge (that is stopped) should throw him off balance.


These may not be the names of these moves, or anything at all, but these are moves that (I beleive) I made up and just named them.

[Hollister_13]

Oh, no, fine with me SaberWolf . . .

Anyways . . .

The Mexican - One of my personal favorites. When you have a defender or two (preferably two) infront of you and kinda to the side, grab the ball with your ankles or insteps and jump with the ball past and inbetween them.

Sorry, I know, just one move, but I can't think of anyothers . . .

[firefox280]

hmmmm...interesting post. Well, I'll start off with this. Its not really a trick, but...

When you are tearing towards goal, and a defenders in front of you, running also, you can use this. Assume you are to their left. Start to go to the right(behind them) and as soon as they start to trun that way, keep going straight on their left side, leaving them to turn to nothing, and you an open field.

I don't know what this is called, but when running, place your forward foot on top of the ball, so it looks like you are going to turn around. Drag the ball backward into your standing foot, so it goes forward again. This should cause the defender to fake himself out. It works alot for me.

I have plenty more, just ask if you want them, but for now, ill let other people post.

[SaberWolf]

Firefox, that is a move, just a situational move, but its called the back-cut, when basically you just cut back towards the defenders back, and that other one is like the L-drag or something.

7/10 Split- when you are approaching a defender fake one way (say the left) and just slide the ball to the right, and then GO to the left, and it'll confuse the defender, and he won't know which way to go.

5/10 Split- this has to be at a standstill, but take your right foot and kick the ball towards the left foot and your left foot kicks the ball around the defender as you're going the other way.

[SantosLaguna]

Hah...the mexican..i think c.blanco did that one

[OleOle]

TIP-TAP - (im right footed)..when a defender is in front of you give the ball a lil tap wit your left foot and than a big tap between the def. legs wit the inside of your right foot..just wait for that lil gap..

Advanced Tip-Tap - drag the ball wit your right foot the left and step over the ball to the right..before you foot touches the ground tap the ball wit your left and wen your foot is coming down tap it bak..complicated?

[__x_l_r_8__]

umm i can do lotsa freestyle tricks ...

Around The World I can do just about anything with this trick. I can go around clockwise then back around anticlockwise and back once more clockwise but then i lose it. I can go around 4 times in a row clockwise. I can go around once and stall it between my knees. I can do it on one leg the with one touch i do it on the other leg. Stall it on my knee the drop it onto my foot and do around the world.

Stalls: I can stall it on my back throw it up and catch it again. I can stall it in the back on my leg ummm like between my foot and my ass. I can stall it on my knee and sometimes on my head but only for a few seconds.

theres another trick i do which is hard to explain ... but wat i do is put my foot onto of the ball while it is on the ground then roll my foot forward over the ball sorta banging it on the ground but not that hard ... then the ball while the back on my shoe and pop up .. then i back heel it over my head and start juggling. like wat the guy do in this video when he is outside with thierry henry and 2 defenders run at him. http://www.expertfootball.com/training/tricks/nike_homegame.mov

i can lotsa flicks and stuff but me and my friends at school just like mucking around having fun while we juggle.

[SaberWolf]

Again please, __x_l_r_8__, refrain from telling what you can do with a trick, rather than describe the trick, then tell what you can do with it. I'm sure we all here know what an Around the World, and Stall are, but n00bies might not.

Inside-Out: as you are approaching the defender use the outside of your right foot to push it to the right then,casually just use the inside of your right foot to take it to the left. I have no CLUE why this works so good, but I learned it from Freddy Adu, and he uses it very well.

[QuicK Silv3r]

I find that trick hard to do i always loose control and it just goes straight when i try to flick it to the right :(.

[OleOle]

I like wen adu does that back drag but instead of changing directions he juss fakes like he is and goes back to his first direction..haha..make sense?..he did against chelsea..erryone in the stands went OooOOohh..

Iono if this is a move but its somthing me and homie(my captain) always do wen we're at the 18..i wud use my left heel to kick the bal to my right foot chippin the ball to my capt..who's on the left..I make a run..he heads the ball and GOAAALLLL!!! This has worked 7/10 times..haha..the others..one I got an offsides call..and the other 2 the greedy focker took it himself..

[Verdao1999]

Oh, no, fine with me SaberWolf . . .

Anyways . . .

The Mexican - One of my personal favorites. When you have a defender or two (preferably two) infront of you and kinda to the side, grab the ball with your ankles or insteps and jump with the ball past and inbetween them.

Sorry, I know, just one move, but I can't think of anyothers . . .

I recommend no one try this move, unless they are tryin to look like as big a joke as the clown who invented it, C Blanco.

As for a good move, when Riquelme was on Boca, he was by the sideline with his back to the defender, he did a nice back heel, right through the defenders legs and was on his way down the flank. i dont like riquelme and i hate boca, great move nonetheless.

[SaberWolf]

Thats like one of the simplest moves ever.

But the Mexican, CAN be used if you know how to use it, I have a video clip of a guy splitting two defenders by just jumping the ball by them, but you gotta know EXACTLY when to let it go.

[QuicK Silv3r]

yip timing is everything :D.

[Procala]

I just started palying soccer about a month ago and I just made the team at my university (mainly because I'm fast). What are some off the field things ya'll recommened to help my game?

[QuicK Silv3r]

Practice in the backyard dribbling around things and juggling :D.

[SaberWolf]

Please stay on topic, please, stick to tricks, moves, juggling, and things of that nature.

No Name: take right foot and step-over the ball to the right, and then do a reverse step over (with your left foot) to the left, so now both your feet are on the right of the ball, then scoop the ball up and go left.

[bryman165]

milo : (lefty) you drag the ball with your left foot (roll) after a couple drags to get the ball at a good pace stepover the ball going down on one knee stopping the ball, from there there are many differnt variations..almost anything works

[penalty_20]

sounds like it mite work sounds like a street trick

[Juventus243]

I tried playin soccer against my cousins foolin around and i did a trick and blew by both of them now heres what to do

take the foot of the direction that you want to go left foot to the left direction right foot to the right direction

but you take your foot (lets say left)
and you act like youre gonna hit it to the right but you slide your foot on the top of the ball to the right side of the ball and when your foot slides down the side of the ball before your foot hits the ground or when it does hit the ground hit the ball into the direction you wanted to in this case the left

i dont know if it will work for you but when i do it
it works for me

but also try just hittin the ball all sorts of places between you feet like stepover left right tap it backand forth then when you faked you defender out in one direction go in the opposite direction i learned this from raul from real madrid
he blew by the guy like nuthin the defender almost fell!!!

[SaberWolf]

Yea, basically a Flip-Flop. A great move if you can do it right, but bad if you mess it up because you don't have much of a chance to get it back.

Trick: you have your shoulder to the guy (my left shoulder because I'm mostly right-footed) and have the ball under your right foot. Instead of taking the side of your foot and pushing it between his legs, like state in another trick, roll the ball back, and use the heel of your right to kick it by the left side of the defender, and run around the right side of him to get it.

[Juventus243]

Hey Saberwolf do you have anymore useful tricks if so im me or emial me at yankeehater243@yahoo.com

[SaberWolf]

Alright will do, I'll see if I can find a site or something that has alot of tricks or list or something.

[Juventus243]

thanks man on strongersoccer.com or strongsoccer.com one of them they have cool tricks my new favorite trick is a version of the drag sverve like the fake dra swerve but you take you left foot (or right) but tap the ball ot the left then put your left foot to the right so now both feet are on the right then stepover with your left foot then use your right foot to hit it away sound confusin lol

[Juventus243]

yea im only 12 and i know all these tricks
but when it comes game time when i gte up to a defender i just cant seem to make them work like in the back yard i can do them without a sweat and make moves but in a game all i cad do is juke any tips or anything

[Juventus243]

who ever is givin me points thanks

[SaberWolf]

You get points for viewing and posting in threads.

[Juventus243]

sucks for you saberwolf i get my free dvd

[smithxi]

Pele - pele would bounce the ball off his opponents shins or feet. watch some of his videos. if he was running out of energy or someone was coming on too quick or closely he would simply hit them in the legs with the ball and it would bounce right back to him. genious.

[Juventus243]

im sure you guys think when you go to a website that says download soccer video and it discripts freddy adu does a biccycle kick dont believe it i downloaded one before it was somethin else maybe a lil more mature
lol

[OleOle]

1) with your back towards the def....roll the ball towards you and flick it up..than turn towards the def and flick the ball over you with your heel and run..make sure you lean a lil foward wen flicking the ball because if you stand straight you mite flick the ball to your back..

2) i call this the reverse ronaldinho..you pretend to pass the ball with the inside of your foot to the left by dragging it..than wen the def stabs you tap it between his/her legs..

TIP: When you meg someone..always grab them and pull them back a lil..i learned this from an argentinian trainer..the person getting meg will always try to block u off the ball..so you gotta get a hold of them in order to get around..not a big hold but enuff to get you the ball..some refs call it some dont..always play the whistle..

[OleOle]

Maradona nutmeg: do the maradona towards the defender but instead of trying to around them flick between their legs..

[SaberWolf]

Ole, that was a great tip with the nutmeg, and grabbing them, I just tried it today.


Bicycle Kick: when the ball is coming at you, you jump up in the air with your back parallel to the ground and kick the ball. When complete you land on your back.

Scissors Kick: (often confused with Bike) the scissors kick is you jump in the air with your side parallel to the ground, and you kick the ball. When you complete this you will land on your side.

Cross-Legger: when the ball is on the right side of you, you bend your right knee and bring your left leg BEHIND your right knee and kick the ball. (Good for awquard situations, and off-leg kicks)

Scorpion: a move 95% show, when you jump forward in the air and back-heel the ball as its coming at you. You can also go like you're going to do a hand-stand and back heel it.

Hot Stepper: take your left foot and step over the ball (not around it, just straight over it) and then take right foot step over, left, right, or however many. Its not a step-over because most step-overs go around the ball, this must be done over the ball and rather quickly.



Tip: if you ever try a move, don't wait to see if it works, just go ahead and follow through. Say you try for a nutmeg, don't wait to see if it goes through just run to the other side.

[QuicK Silv3r]

nice tricks :D.

[OleOle]

iono who does this but i've seen my brother ronaldinho do it the best..i just recently learned but not like his..the ball is on his right..he drags it to left behind his left leg and chips back to his right..its insane..i can only drag it left to right i cant chip it yet..still learning..

[Juventus243]

Hey oleole that move seems awesome does he keep runnin and like go around the deender?
but anyways is your brother ronaldhino lik the brazil one the famous skilled one

[SaberWolf]

I just saw how awesome the Flip-Flop (ground Elastico) can be, even if you do it slow, I've been doing the Elastico for a long time but I'm not the best in the world with it, but today I did it slow and it still worked great.

[penalty_20]

Hey oleole that move seems awesome does he keep runnin and like go around the deender?
but anyways is your brother ronaldhino lik the brazil one the famous skilled one
haha wouldnt that be amazing

[OleOle]

haha nah juventus i was just saying..if ronaldinho was my brother u would never see me on this forum..lol..

heres something to do..wen running straight to a defender drag the ball wit your right foot and step over the ball to the right..than tap the ball wit your left foot to the right behind your right foot..

[SaberWolf]

Half-Maradona- (in a regular maradona you put your right foot on the ball and then roll the ball back to your left, and your rolls it to infront of you as your body twist) in a half-maradona you put the ball to your right, and then spin (without the ball) to your left, and as you're coming back around take your left foot and roll over the ball. It basically just puts your body between you and the defender, and most defenders won't mess with you.

Maradona Shot- if you have your right shoulder to the defender and the ball on your left foot, roll the ball backwards with your left foot, and spin left too, and as you're coming around just shoot the ball with your right.

[SERBKINGKEZMAN]

hi have you any videos you can send me of these please

[SaberWolf]

Nike's got a new comercial out on the Half-Maradona, well its got like all these kids doing tricks and its got one kid spin then hit the ball, but I don't know where to find any of the shot, its just a signature move a guy on my League team does and I kinda borrowed it from him, it works good when you've got one guy to beat then goal.

[Chiapaneco]

Oh, no, fine with me SaberWolf . . .

Anyways . . .

The Mexican - One of my personal favorites. When you have a defender or two (preferably two) infront of you and kinda to the side, grab the ball with your ankles or insteps and jump with the ball past and inbetween them.

Sorry, I know, just one move, but I can't think of anyothers . . .

(Chiapaneco) - Cuahtemoc Blanco fron the Mexican soccer league did this move while playing with China or Japan, I dont really remember.

[SaberWolf]

Yea I have a video of some guy doing it right between two defenders, and getting away with it...With great grace!

No-Name: Seen done by Ronaldinho, I'm not sure it'll work on normal players, but I've only tried it once. Take your right foot and roll the back up on your foot, and pop it up, then lean forward and bring your left foot up and kick the ball with your left-heel, from behind your right leg.

[QuicK Silv3r]

really nice tricks guys :D.

[SaberWolf]

Tips:

There are basically 4 things you can do when you approach an opponent:

Left- going left of your opponent with the ball.
Right- going RIGHT of your opponent with the ball.
Nutmeg- going right between your opponents legs.
Over- kicking the ball or doing a trick involving the ball going over your opponent's head.

I would suggest you nutmeg the HELL out of a certain defender, as many times as possible before he catches on and as soon as he does keep his legs shut, then just go to the left or right of them, its EXTREMELY easy, because they will keep their legs together and it makes them alot less mobile and easier to just go around.

The best freestyle soccer trick is the 1 kieron dyer ( newcastle united ) does. Its way betta than the ronaldinho oleundefined ;) undefined

[OleOle]

The best freestyle soccer trick is the 1 kieron dyer ( newcastle united ) does. Its way betta than the ronaldinho oleundefined ;) undefined

explain this trick..cos i have only seen this trick done by ronaldinho..its the most creative sh** i have seen..

[Holty]

Hey mates, i'm new to this forum but have been reading it for a while, here is a cool trick i found:

Mo'Gy
This is a quite rare way to flick the ball up but like all tricks you have to follow the steps. The most common mistake with this trick is to try to do everything at once. Timing is the secret here. You must swing your leg up before you lift the ball otherwise your foot isn't in the right place to bang the ball into the ground to make it bounce up. A phrase I use when I'm teaching is 'Swing - Lift - Bang' and this helps people understand the timing.

Heres a link to the video - Mo'Gy clip (http://www.footballtricks.com/View.aspx?nID=168) (scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "demo video") :)

[SaberWolf]

Oh that is classified as a Lift and I'm glad you said something because I've been meaning to post about a few juggling tricks:

Rainbow: explained before, roll the ball up your left heel, with your left toe, and use your right heet to flip it up.

Inverted-Rainbow: using the side of your left foot to roll the ball up the side of your right foot then flipping it up.

Lace Flick: using the right foot (laces) and roll it back and press down on the ball then lift up, and the ball will come up. Lace Flick (http://www.beyondfootball.com/laceflick.htm)

Lift #1: take your left foot and put behind the ball, then take your right foot and put ontop the ball. Then (lean left) and roll the ball back onto your left foot, and lift the ball up.

Lift #2: basically the same as the first, but instead of rolling the ball back with your right foot, use the heel of your right foot to kick it onto the left.

Lift #3: put right foot ontop the ball roll it back towards your left foot, and as soon as you left it up with your left, hit it back down against the ground with your right.

The Lace Flick looks weird. How do they get the ball up? It just looks like they roll it and it pops up :shocked: I tried it but I can't get my foot under it in time.

[Hollister_13]

YOU CAN'T DO THE LACE FLICK?!?! Sorry man, but that is the most basic lift ever . . . anyways, just practice it and you'll get it down pat.

[Hollister_13]

Ahh . . . I'm sorry man, I just watched the lace flick video and I was mistaking the description for the 'basic' roll back lift. That trick is mad though1

[Holty]

Ahh . . . I'm sorry man, I just watched the lace flick video and I was mistaking the description for the 'basic' roll back lift. That trick is mad though1

Heheh, no worries, I can do most other lifts just not the lace flick :sad:

[SaberWolf]

Yea it took me forever to get it down. But if this makes sense, don't try anything else than to do the movements. Just roll it back and press down hard and let off really quick. Its like learning how to olly on a skateboard, you can jump up and down all you want and it won't go up with you but if you apply the right pressure it'll go just as high as you want it.

Its not that hard once you get use to it.

[Hollister_13]

Yeah, olling is hard.

[Holty]

Yeah. And also, when i'm juggling, the ball always seems to hit the wrong part of my foot and flies out in some other direction, so I can't really keep it bouncing straight up all the time. When do I hit the ball - as it's coming down or still rising?? Thanks mates

[adam #17]

Could someone e-mail a bunch of tricks + vids, etc? I'd really appreciate it, and there should be just a huge list that's stickied or w/e at the top of the page so people don't have to read through 5 pages of stuff to get half a page of moves.

[SaberWolf]

Hey would anyone be against me just making my first post, a list of all the the tricks, and as yall post them, I can add them on my post. And for the record, this thread is not just about in-game soccer tricks, its about basically 4 things:

-Soccer Tricks (as in on the field)
-Soccer Tips (like a tip that will help you out on the field)
-Juggling Tricks (tricks to do when you are juggling)
-Juggling Tips (tips that help you out when you are juggling.

Holty hit the ball as it is coming down. To learn how to hit it in the same spot just drop the ball onto your foot and hit it back up to your hand, then catch. When you get good at that, do it twice and catch it (but alternate feet).

[Holty]

Hey would anyone be against me just making my first post, a list of all the the tricks, and as yall post them, I can add them on my post. And for the record, this thread is not just about in-game soccer tricks, its about basically 4 things:

-Soccer Tricks (as in on the field)
-Soccer Tips (like a tip that will help you out on the field)
-Juggling Tricks (tricks to do when you are juggling)
-Juggling Tips (tips that help you out when you are juggling.

Holty hit the ball as it is coming down. To learn how to hit it in the same spot just drop the ball onto your foot and hit it back up to your hand, then catch. When you get good at that, do it twice and catch it (but alternate feet).

Ah ok thanks! By the way, I don't really have a real soccer ball yet, I have one of those Wahu beach soccer balls, if you have ever heard of that brand. It's a pretty crap ball and I guess I can't hit it accurately because it flies up really high even if just lightly kick it.

It's hard to explain, but a normal soccer ball is heavier and can be controlled easier than a stretchy light-weight ball. What size ball is good for a teenager? 4 or 5, I think 5 is the maximum size for a soccer ball.

[adam #17]

5

and good idea saberwolf, but what you should do is make a thread called "tricks" and only you make a whole list. if people want to add they either pm you - e-mail - or type it under the list than you add the move and delete their post. also make a thread called "trick help thread" or something if people need help.

when you put the move in put the name, what it is, and how to do + any tips.

[Juventus243]

my socce4r season has started and yesterday we went into double overtime and tied 0-0 but i foundif you go to the the ball and use stuff off the top of your head you can do saome pretty cool fakes and get by i do it to my friend but can never do it in pracice cause i try to hard but it works so now our record is 1-0-1 we won our first game 5-1 then we got the tie

[SaberWolf]

Yea class 5 is the best you can get.

But I'm not going to make another thread just for tricks when we already got one stickied for tricks right here. Plus people would more easily post on the thread than to PM or email me.

Zidane Step-Over: a great move I just saw watching in one of Zidane's movies. He is running toward a defender, and steps over (his right foot went over the ball to the left) then he scooped the ball up with his right foot (as it rolled up on it) and just cut back right

[adam #17]

Well than will you update your first post with all the moves people have given you??

Stepcut: Conduct the stepover motion by throwing your foot over the ball acting as if you were going to do a stepover. Now, instead of doing a stepover, use your other foot to cut the ball in front of you.

Dance: While dribbling, if you are in a position where you can stop, put your foot on the ball than start doing tip-taps (jumping while alternating feet touching the top of the ball) to slow the pace down for a sec, to decieve your defenders. You think it sounds ridiculous, but when a defender sees you do that, he will lunge and throw himself into you, while you are easily able to cut/drag the ball around him.

Clayton: If you are on the line with your back facing the line and a defender face in front of you, drag the ball with your foot as if you were going to the corner flag. Than, as the ball is moving throw the foot you dragged with around the ball and cruyff with your other all in one motion. Now, you can dribble inward or put a nice cross into the 18.


I dribble alot, and I like to taunt, so I do more creative and intriguing dribbling skills. I'll get some vids up soon sometime. :heart:

[QuicK Silv3r]

nice man i might use them :D.

[OleOle]

i saw this from ronaldo9...he drags the ball with his left foot back, taps it foward with the inside of his right and as his left foot lands he pushes it to the right..its a good trick wen done correctly..www.killsometime.com has the clip of it..its in the soccer tricks clip..

[SaberWolf]

Yea I know what you're talking about the move itself is called the Nutmeg but there is alittle bit more information on it here. Here (http://www.expertfootball.com/training/dribbling_nutmeg.php)


But here are two more lifts, that I just came up with when I was playing outside:

Knee Flick: put your right foot behind the ball, so as your toe is touching the ball then flick the ball up, as you're bring your knee down, and it will bounce the ball against the ground and up into the air.

Trap Flick: put the ball between your feet, so that the ball is touching both your feet. Then take your right foot and roll the ball back, and up at the same time so it comes off the ground, behind you. Then as soon as you get it some-what off the ground, take your right foot, and hit it back down against the ground, and then turn around and start juggling.

[Juventus243]

it doesnt have to do with soccer but the thing that oleole put on her the killsometime.com it if you click funny videos it has a hilarious home video of a kiddin cussin and flippin out swearin every ohter word screamin atthe top of his lungs its so funny

[SaberWolf]

Drag-Step Over: take your right foot and kick toward the left, and as soon as you kick it to the left, take your right foot and do a step over to the right, then continue going left. It's a great move if you can get your timing right...Like knowing when to do the step over and all.

[thewallLFC]

Hey guys i can nearly but i just cam't do the around the world trick
can you help :rockon:

[OleOle]

Hey guys i can nearly but i just cam't do the around the world trick
can you help :rockon:

start off with a footstall..lift foot up circle the ball with your leg and tap it and start juggling..do wats more comfortable..i got outside..to my right..a lil hop could help get your leg over..after you mastered off the footstall do it off a juggle than try for two..just keep on practicing..its not that hard..

SOMEONE PLEASE:

throughout this place there are like infinity different threads about the same thing; TRICKS and TIPS. One of the mods (SABER..!) should go through all of it and take the moves, tips, etc and make a thread called "Official Dribbling Trick Thread" & "Official Futbol Tip Thread"

PLEASE. I ***king hate this machine so much but it's a good resource on learning new things from around the world so PLEASE, PLEASE do this. I need a place where I can come and learn some stuff rather than searching a bunch of different stuff.

how about you start off at the beginning of this thread and work your way thru..and theres already another thread out that SaberWolf started..

[adam #17]

How about, no. That is not efficient, and would take so long. Think about it. If everything was on the first page that would be fine. But so many people post random things and now we're at page 6.

And yes, Saber did make a new thread... I'm not dense. But what I'm saying is why waste all the good info people have already posted??

Don't bother trying to debate me... because frankly I don't even care.

It's six pages man..stop being lazy..but anyways..

The Zidane Stepover- step over the ball with your right foot to the left..when the def. stabs the ball scoop the ball and lift it towards the right..it works so well..

[Hollister_13]

Hey SaberWolf . . . you've got all those foreign exchange students coming to your school everyday from great places like Italy, England, France etc . . . could you ask them (for me . . . don't mention me though) some of their moves that they use all the time? I'm really interested in Italians mainly . . . thanks!

Oh, also, could you ask them (or just look) what kind of boots that everybody wears over there or what are the "best" ones? I know I'm sounding like an idiot . . . especially because this is a world forum with Italians on here anyways.

mann europeons are so lucky..new booths get released to you guys first than take their time gettin to the states..

[SaberWolf]

You know suprisingly we haven't had any English people come over yet. I'm not really sure why though. Most of the players buy their boots (cleats) over here and the ones that bought them over here bough various stuff...My Italian this year got Adidas Averio, Equadorian bought Predator Pulses, German bought Nikes 90 II (not 3) the Hungarian bought Nike Mercurial Vapors. And they all had different styles:

German- real flashy, but not that many moves, just did alot of fakes, and was smooth on the ball.
Italian- stepovers...Nothing but stepovers, double stepovers, inverted, double inverted, but he was good at them and they worked fantastic.
Hungarian- now THIS guy had some moves. He played alot of futsal, and was extremely good in tight situations (but sadly) was bad in other parts of the field like dribbling fast, and passing. He was creative with the ball, long legs, and I don't think I ever saw him do the same move twice.
Equadorian- not what I expected from a South American but has good feet. He always keeps one of his foot really close to the ball, and waits for his opponent to attack first, then he'll just slide the ball to the left or right and go by. But he wasn't real fast.
Austrian- tall guy, had great feet. Played real simple soccer, he was all about positioning. He would get the ball, and get at the PERFECT angle of the goal and then just blow by his oppoents (no moves or nothing just acceleration).

Those are the ones I remember. We had like 5 Germans over the past 2 years, and they all had different styles, but I just described the style mine had (the one that stayed with me).

[Hollister_13]

Thanks!

Ez chip

kik the ball underneeth with your toe

Hey I kinda notice throughout there were all feild tricks...dont get me worng there all awsome but lets throw in like the only goalie
trick the old one way look and throw the other way- simply look one way and throw the ball the other way


Yes I know there arent many keeper tricks....but hey it be nice if there was just one on here.......even if its not great...u guys really have some good info. here on tricks..i personally as a keeper look on in amazement form the goal as u guys pull theses things off...When someone scores on me...its better knowing they just shcooled half my team before they scored........keep up the good posts.....really good info here.....

[soccerfreek9]

does any one know ani triks

[SaberWolf]

Ah man you got lucky you asked that question, our goalie (for recreational soccer) is FULL of goalie tricks. He honestly is one of the best goalies I've ever seen and he is short and kinda stubby (not necissarily fat, just stubby).

But he is good, he is quick, got quick feet, good hands, and can (somehow) get into the corners to stop shots. But one of his favorite things to do is to (as the ball is rolling at him to his left) lunge at the ball with his left foot, but cut just short (so the oppoenent thinks the goalie missed and the ball is already in) and then take his right foot go behind his left and kick it out, its like tormenting the shooter.

Scorpion- jumping head first and hitting the ball with your heel over your head. Scorpion (http://www.torneouniversitario.it/foto_video/higita.jpg)

[Supakeeper]

Haha...nice one saber...yes I know this one.....and thanks for adding it...I appeatie it when feild players show their goalies a little love.......but did u say rec. teams....didnt figure u guys played on those....thought u guys were....mainly just.......select/club players.....but rec is a good way to build confidence especially for keepers.....

[Hollister_13]

No, SaberWolf plays competetive (and I guess recreational). There are only like two people on this forum that play only rec . . . which happens to be me, although I've played many times against "great" comp players which I've schooled quite bad.

[Supakeeper]

lol..well sorry i dont make 3.....i play 3 levels of soccer rec...club.....traveling.......and.....high school soccer........

[Holty]

Damn I still can't do the Rainbow. When I roll the ball up my leg (just a bit higher than my ankle) it flicks off and I can't get my heel to kick the ball, and if I do it goes behind me :shocked:

[soccerfreek9]

i play travel soccer also
I know one kid's brother who tryed out for the usa national u-16
he made the team he is a awesome goalie

[Supakeeper]

try doing it wihtout the ball moveing just do it while the ball is sitting still once u can do that do it while the ball is rolling....am a keepper and i can do i rainbow.....so it really shouldnt be so much of a problem........but.......just try it with the ball sitting still

[Hollister_13]

Damn I still can't do the Rainbow. When I roll the ball up my leg (just a bit higher than my ankle) it flicks off and I can't get my heel to kick the ball, and if I do it goes behind me :shocked:
It helps if you do it kind of sideways. Like roll the ball up with the inside of our foot, and kind of roll it onto the inside of your other foot. I NEVER just roll the ball up with my laces onto my heel . . . never works.

BTW, it kind of helps if you look back while you are doing it.

[Supakeeper]

Looking back or down will help good idea hollister diffieately a good pointer

[SaberWolf]

Goalie Tricks:

Saw this on one of those stupid Soccer-Cartoon shows: the ball is rolling at the right corner, and you (the goalie) jumps toward the left side of the goal, and kicks off the left pole to propel yourself toward the right side and catch the ball.

Spinning- just spinning your ball on your finger like a basketball, always a classic.

Scissors Kick- if you're skilled enough to do a scissors kick, then just scissor kick it out the goal (Scissor Kick being, jumping off the ground with your body being parallel to the ground and you kick it, and land on your side...Different from a bicycle kick)

Tip: Anything you can do in basketball, a goalie can do in soccer, like tricks and moves, just so you know.

[Hollister_13]

Hey, anyone here want to explain how to do a scissors kick? Whenever I try it, I always feel awkward getting sideways and I feel like I don't have that much time to kick my bad leg out front, then swing it back and kicking with my other foot . . .

[RaulMadrid7]

Hey, anyone here want to explain how to do a scissors kick? Whenever I try it, I always feel awkward getting sideways and I feel like I don't have that much time to kick my bad leg out front, then swing it back and kicking with my other foot . . .
Well I could do scissor kicks since I was 7 years old.

The trick is to practise half of it first. So for example use only 1 foot to flip backwards and kick instead of using both in a bicycle motion, and then once you get the feel for it, and making sure you use your hands for support because it can cause injury to your head, try using both your feet.

So to do a normal bicycle kick, for example with your right foot, get in position, swing your left foot up very fast in a motion that lifts your entire body and then switch to kick with your right.

Just try it on a matress or anything soft on the floor before doing in on the ground. :)

[SaberWolf]

Raul, are you sure you're talking about a Scissors kick or a Bicycle kick?

A scissors kick you do on your side, and I myself think is easier because you land on your side and not your back. Plus you can practice it ALOT more with regular vollies from the side, and its easier to judge than ones on your back.

I found it easier to learn good timing by jumping into a pool as someone tosses you the ball, it gives you good timing and a cusion to land on.

[Supakeeper]

Hey saber just wanted to add another thing espeailly a pool is good for.....keepers who just started playing who wanna learn the best way to dive......try diveing into a pool....in the same way you would on ground....its gets you use to landing....and it makes you think its not gonna hurt....it sounds stupid but work.....being a keeper is at least 50% all mental skill and toughness

[midfielder #8]

I always thought a bycicle kick and a scissors kick are the same its just that theres a difference between a scissors over head kick and a scissors side kick.

[Supakeeper]

They are somewhat the same just look different when done

[SaberWolf]

Scissors= Side Kick
Bicycle= Back Kick

[Hollister_13]

Aww . . . now I can't even remember the name. Well, I think that it is called Twist 'em Out . . . here is the discription: This move is sort of a Rainbow Kick, a cheap version, although it is quite flashier. You are running (okay, jogging) towards the defender at a comfy pace and you trap the ball inbetween your feet (kind of how you would to do a Mexican). Then you do a 180 spin and release the ball so it starts soaring over the defenders head. Finish out the rotation and retrieve the ball. (I still haven't managed to get the ball up at least 5 feet . . . )

I think SaberWolf has already explained this trick somewhere, but anyways, here it is: Hopscotch: Pretty basic nutmegging move, get close to the defender and jump/lunge to the left and bringing up your left knee close to your chest (making the impression of a sprint) but leaving your right foot next to the ball. Then, the defender will spread their legs open and you kick the ball through when you are in midair. Run around them and retrieve the ball.

I rember this move from a commercial I saw somehwere. It was Freddy Adu doing it. I can do it pretty well but have never used it in a game. For some reason, I used to call it "the fake rainbow"

[Hollister_13]

It is sort of like the "Freddy" move. He only flicks it up a few feet off of the ground and the ball stays behind him. In "my" move, you do the same spinny-do, except the ball goes up over the opponents head.

[SaberWolf]

Yea if any of yall have ever seen the Nike Commercial with the USNT, it shows Freddy Adu doing the Hot Stepper, and then the Tornado and shooting it in the goal.

Also a tip for this trick, say you're right footed, try to do a LEFT-FOOTED rainbow, as in rolling the ball up your right ankle with your left foot, and you will naturally spin around throwing it up and over your oponent.

[Holty]

I've been mucking around with that '180 degree spin then flick the ball trick'. Most of the time I get it right and it will go up about as high as my head, it's easier than i thought and fun to do :D

[SaberWolf]

Another flick, take your right foot and roll the ball to the left, and flick it up with the right side of your foot, then take your left foot, go behind your right foot and hit it back against the ground.

[Holty]

Another flick, take your right foot and roll the ball to the left, and flick it up with the right side of your foot, then take your left foot, go behind your right foot and hit it back against the ground.

This ones hard :rolleyes: The trouble I have with it is having a quick enough foot to roll it and then move my foot to the other side and flick it up.

Does the ball have to go behind me?

[QuicK Silv3r]

Man it is hard lol.

[Speedy]

Can someone explain to me in-depth please the Hot Stepper and Tornado like the one Freddy Adu did on the USNT Video.

[Irish]

my 2 fave tricks that i used were simple but effective:

1. the Teaser : when faced with a one on one stuation with another player, roll the ball forward in front of the opposing player, keeping your foot on the ball at all times, when he commits himself and lunges for the ball simply drag the ball back and flick to the left or right (depending on which foot you use) and you will leave him for dead !!

2. the One man Dummy : if someone passes to you, pretend to trap the ball but at the last second just allow the ball to continue past you and follow its path.. the opposing player will be caught flat footed because he was expecting you to 'trap and go', and you will be past him before he knows where he is !!! (works well in enclosed spaces)

they are simple, i know, but are very effective IMO !!!

[Hollister_13]

Can someone explain to me in-depth please the Hot Stepper and Tornado like the one Freddy Adu did on the USNT Video.
The "Hot Stepper" is a dramatic version of the "Scissors". Just do some "Scissors" and add big lunges when you are stepping over and make the stepping over part big wide arcs.
For the "Tornado", you plant the ball in between your feet (so you can jump up and down with the ball stuck there) and jump up and spin a 360 but let the ball loose halfway through the rotation. When you come back around and finish off the other 180, the ball 'should' be falling down and just kick it. (you've seen the vids, just try and imitate him)

[Zed]

If u r near the goalpost, always shoot a grass shot because if u kick too high the keeper can stop the ball. instead keep it low and send it to either corner of the post. always works for me

[Supakeeper]

Zed good post but its not really a trick it maybe in the wrong forum.....but while am here

Keeper trick..The dead man....More of a taunt not a trick...While the balls in play sit down....just sit there....As the ball gets closer...wating to the last possible seconed to stand up....then get up....really gets the other team mad

[unam_mx]

Man I cant get the around-the-world trick...I can get it off of one bounce off the ground but thats it.The closest I come is hitting it on top before it comes down, but I can never get under it before it reaches the ground.Man some people make this look so easy but its pretty hard.

Any suggestions, other then to keep on practicing?

[Creativity]

Well I can tell you it's a lot easier if you just have the balled stalled on your foot as opposed to juggling it. I personally can't do it while juggling, only with the ball on my foot. I have a video of it here, if it helps:

http://media.putfile.com/Soccah

[nerazzuri]

what about the elastico or flip-flap, explain that to me. tried it a billion times came close but not enough

[Cro_Leviathan]

what about the elastico or flip-flap, explain that to me. tried it a billion times came close but not enough


For the elastico, this should solve your problem.

Elastico (http://www.expertfootball.com/training/moves/elastico_low.avi)

[nerazzuri]

i need sum1 to explain it to me in word

[SaberWolf]

Take outside of your right foot and (don't push but) kick the ball to the right, and as soon as you do that cut your foot back try to catch it with the inside of your right foot. This is probably one of the hardest moves I've ever seen done.

I've been working on it 2 months and can do it, but not fast, and probably have ANOTHER (atleast) 2 months before I even begin to think about using it in the game.

[OleOle]

work on doing slowly at first..than try doing it at a regular pace..its good way to 'meg someone..i like doing the opposite way tho..inside than out..hottness..

[SaberWolf]

Oh yea Reverse-Elastico, its basically the same thing but ALOT easier, and leaves the defenders standing there, not able to do anything.

And another thing, not really a NAMED move, but something I came up with that I have used in a game, push the ball to the inside, then cut it back out, then cut it back in one more time, and its perfect.

[nz knights]

nice explanation wit the nutmeg right foot left foot thingy it realy helped me out :P

[OleOle]

i was a keeper indoors..i would always talk shit and there would be always one guy that liked to get in my face while i threw or kicked the ball..what i did was i pretended to throw it over his head like i was shooting a basketball..he turned around and i bounced it off the back of his head..lol..hilarious...

[OleOle]

i dont know if you guys ever been to this site..www.voetbaltruc.com ..its hott with a bunch of clips..some im sure you guys seen before but some you havent..some clips will make you hop outta your chair..BELIEVE ME!!

[goaliejo]

its simple so dont make fun of me well i pop the ball ip with my foot then kick it

[Pazaz77]

Man I cant get the around-the-world trick...I can get it off of one bounce off the ground but thats it.The closest I come is hitting it on top before it comes down, but I can never get under it before it reaches the ground.Man some people make this look so easy but its pretty hard.

i just recently got the hang of this trick. The thing you gotta do is not try to kick the ball then go around, you have to try to start going around and hit the ball as your going around it and put side spin on the ball, but dont hit it to the side or too high up. This may take a while to get used to, i know it did for me but as you know its all about repetition repetition repetition

[SaberWolf]

This ones hard The trouble I have with it is having a quick enough foot to roll it and then move my foot to the other side and flick it up.

Does the ball have to go behind me?
No it don't, just make sure your left foot goes behind your right leg. It ain't really THAT hard, just takes some practice.

Put your right foot ontop the ball, and roll it to the left, and then just flick it up alittle, and thats when you bring your other foot around...Again it ain't really that hard.

[houston1836]

i cant do half of the things but i prefer just faking the guy out and sprint away. so ya

[Shahbaz]

Raul, are you sure you're talking about a Scissors kick or a Bicycle kick?

A scissors kick you do on your side, and I myself think is easier because you land on your side and not your back. Plus you can practice it ALOT more with regular vollies from the side, and its easier to judge than ones on your back.

I found it easier to learn good timing by jumping into a pool as someone tosses you the ball, it gives you good timing and a cusion to land on.

Bicycle kick is better and it hurts less (I got injured doing the scissors kick)

[penalty_20]

Someone wanna explain the OleOle?

[RedDress]

Around-the-World isn't so hard.And there is one secret way to make it perfectly working.Practise :)

And my tip , the way is not to juggle ball high than around it , only hit ball gently and practise your speed in leg.

Peace

[penalty_20]

OleOle anyone? explain please....

[OleOle]

OleOle anyone? explain please....

explain what?

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

explain what?

:lol:...i hadnt got a clue what he meant either.....:rolleyes:

[featherfeet]

heras an interesting trick- step over the ball with your left foot and the lean down and tap it behind it with your right knee, finish it off with a maradona

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

yeah...i do the knee thing a lot...really confuses the defender...although i have been victim to a few crunching tackles because i do tricks too much....nothin i can do about it :lol:

[featherfeet]

knees in the face dont feel to good either

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

true......i nutsed a guy in my match thismorning and he booted be in the balls.....didnt even get booked...shocking :lol:

[smithxi]

finish it off how?

[featherfeet]

a maradona to finish the trick, not to score

[smithxi]

what is a maradona trick

nm i'll look it up.

[featherfeet]

when i do the rainbow i can get the ball in the air but not over my head,
any suggestions?

[Becks]

Give the ball a little flick and lean forwards.

[featherfeet]

that worked, thanx

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

what the hell is a rainbow anyway??

[featherfeet]

when you flick the ball over your head from behind with your right foot.
what do you call it

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

eh...like a pele flick???

[RedDress]

Do you think make a new forum chapter about Freestyle soccer ( not drible tricks only freestyle tricks , ball on your neck , around the world etc.) is good idea ? Is anyone here interested some in that ?

[penalty_20]

[penalty_20]

We have a video forum.

[smithxi]

oops, sorry.

[SiN]

i did a great trick the other day where i thread the ball alongside my opponent and ran around him to recieve the ball then avoided his late sliding tackle by scooping the ball up in the air and jumping at the same time...but then i lost the ball and ended up flat on my face...:lol:

[penalty_20]

NP smithxi t is new. Get some videos in there :)

hahaa sin sounds i love that trick i just dont usually fall on my face..if possible haha jkjk

[smithxi]

[penalty_20]

i think yousendit.com or megaupload

[ole21]

catch it in your leg and thy. i keep trying that one but cant ever get it.

you know what a funny one is, have the ball between your feet on the ground. pull the back of your shirt out then with your feet throw it up into your shirt and run away. lol, it looks so funny.

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

catch it between ur heel and ur arse.......then flick it over your head from the back

[ole21]

catch it between ur heel and ur arse.......then flick it over your head from the back
yea like henry in the new nike comercial. but i'm looking more for tricks and moves that you can use in a game situation or when playing with friends.

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

i do this thing where i swing my right foot at the ball......but as i kick it i sort of put my left foot slightly in front of it..so the ball travels about a foot or so..and stops on my left heel....the defender thinks the ball is long gone..and i skip past him...takes a while to master..but its worth it...

[ulster21]

i do this thing where I receive the ball and dribble straight past the defender because I have something called speed :D

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

i have that 2....but the thread is soccer skills....

[SaberWolf]

Have the ball under your right foot, then rotate your body, 90 degrees, and bring the ball with you, then when the guy charges you roll the ball back again with your right foot, and come around with your left foot and dribble.

[Soccerplaya8351]

hey....i was just thinking of moves and i came up with this move now idk if it's already invented or w/e but here it is...

you basecally do like a scissor...but insted your doing like a half scissor meaning lets say the ball is to the right of your left foot...with the right foot you bring your leg like around the ball but when your like half way you kick the ball beck with the back of the foot..and really fast with the left foot you tap it again as it's going back...this trick should be done really fast and helps a lot if your a fast guy...

tell me waht you thnk..

[Rickster]

Im trying to do that trap between your heel and arse thing just not working. any tips for it?

Ive got a pretty alright trick. Im not a juggler but anyhow i was just trying out something the other day. I juggled it in the air then on one knee i kneel down and let the ball bounce on my thigh and then get back up and start juggling again.

[penalty_20]

yeh i need tips to i cant do it

[Dizzee Wahil]

Rickster, you should also try doing that with the backheel. Works well, exactly the same

[Rickster]

Dizee could you explain doing what with backheel? how?

[ooaapaulmcgrath]

the arse thing is all about timing......thats pretty much the only tip i can give...

[SoccerChica]

When an attacker is coming at you, step with your left foot in front of the ball, and bring your right foot back around and kick it to the side with the outside of your right foot. You can use that and follow the ball and then score, or you can use it to pass it to a teammate.

Another trick is to take your right foot and roll it over the ball so it slides to the right. The attacker will spread their legs apart to try to get the ball, and then you kick it between their legs! It takes practice, but it's really humiliating for the other player when it works! Mwahaha!

[Mark59]

Wats an Around THe woRld?:)

[snuffy]

Does anyone know how to flick the ball up from a footstall? I can't do it very high and my coach does it a different way, like ronaldinho flicks it up... something with the ankle maybe?

[[s]kills]

great tips, but some of them are a bit hard to understand, remember the people reading these might have never seen what your explaining so you need to go through every detail

[soccer lover 11]

ive been practicing the rainbow kick for a while but every time i try it the ball doesnt get much air and it flies backwards. what am i doing wrong?

[SaberWolf]

Does anyone know how to flick the ball up from a footstall? I can't do it very high and my coach does it a different way, like ronaldinho flicks it up... something with the ankle maybe?
Face the direction you want to flick it, then let it roll off the front of your foot SLIGHTLY then flick your toe up. It takes some practice but its cool when you learn it. We embarassed the HELL out a team once, using the flick me and a boy named Judd, it was GREAT.

[Foci]

Hey I have a quesiton. When juggling. Is it better to get very good at juggling before trying these tricks? My record was 103, but my avg is around 30-50 and lots of times I don't get past 15 or so.

These guys in the vids doing tricks while juggling, seem like they could go on forever...

What would you guys recommend?

[smithxi]

I recommend finding a knife and disecting the ball. Vigorously. :lol:

[Foci]

I recommend finding a knife and disecting the ball. Vigorously. :lol:

?

Yea, well after today I feel like popping my damn ball with a knife. :mad2:

It's raining and everything and I still practiced, my avg today was around 10. Probably due to the slip factor.

[smithxi]

I know, i was just kidding, i had a long day reffing and needed to relieve some stress.

Okay, so you wanna be good, you have to close your eyes, AND SEE YOURSELF. See yourself doing all the tricks you want to do, crossing over, catching the ball on your thy, juggling, catching it on your neck, anything. You have to close your eyes and see yourself doing it, then you have to become it, like a vision you have, a strong vision of something you're becoming, then when you're vision is over, you come back to reality, and you work as hard as you can and as often as you can to be that image you created. and if you get discouraged, all you have to do is close your eyes again and imagine yourself being that 110% TRIXY soccer player.

[bran d]

this is a trick where u hit the ball with
the outside of your foot to the right of the defender and then
u run around the left of the defender and collecting the ball.
This move is affective and easy.

[bran d]

stop turn - when u have a defender right next to u competing
for the ball,stop the ball with the sole of
your foot and they will usually over run u or even
trip over.It leaves the defender startled most times. TRY IT ITS EASY.

thats not my only move but one of my most effective.

[bran d]

hahaha!!!!!!

[bran d]

try www.nikesoccer.com

[bran d]

hahaha!!!!!!
what whas i laughing at???

[Venezuelas_best]

Ha!srry to just join you guys conversation but who knows any really cool soocer tricks or sumthin to impress everyone!
Reply plsss!!!!!

[bran d]

well rainbows look really good but are pretty hard.
what u do is put one foot infront of the ball and one foot behind the ball.
with the inside of your back foot roll the ball up past the heel of your front foot and with the heel of your front foot [man,all this saying front foot and back foot is getting annoying]flick the ball over your head.

works good if u have a defender infront of u and u flick the ball over their head aswell!

if this is too difficult u can flick the ball of the ground with the end
of your toes to make it clear the defenders heads.

[tuche ss]

hey guys,

does any1 know any good sites that actually TELL you how to do some of these awesome tricks? cuz most of 'em just show u.

[ac_22_milan]

i dont know if this is a trick or not but i do it

you turn to side on of ur defender and your foot is ontop of the ball then you fake turn to the way ur back is facing pull your whole body then flick the ball back in front of the other leg and run on

[Ballsmith]

Hi guys....and girls!

My team mates hate playing against me in training as they are often made to look foolish.
I often find that it's having the guts and the speed of thought to try new things in a full match that causes me a problem (see later)....although when they come off it proves a greater benefit.

Floated in for some new trick ideas to keep full backs guessing (as they are starting to second guess me now), but I have a couple of my own flicks you might like to learn. If my explanations are unclear let me know and I'll try to expand a bit.

Bare in mind these 3 only work if you have space in behind a defender to run into, ie. down the flank.

The Can-Can

Roll the ball (LF) over from left to right with the LF coming to rest on top of the ball, your left leg should be extended fully in front and slightly crossing your right.

Slide your RF to the left so it is diagonally behind and left of your LF. Your hips should turn accordingly or you'll end up on your rear :lol:

Drag the ball back with your LF towards your RF and plant it quickly.
Use the instep of your RF to flick the ball off the ground then move your RF quickly to the right and forward. In the same motion, bring the heel on your LF to meet the ball and flick it over the defender's head.

By the time he's picked his jaw up off the ground and turned round you've gained two metres on him.

The first time I tried this in a match, I proper mucked it up and got dropped for the next fixture....however, I practiced it and the match after, I pulled it off and it landed sweet for a half-volley straight into the bottom corner.
Some you win...


There's no place like home

This is similar to the last but with a little variation it works equally well.
If you are stationary with a defender facing you, have the ball between your insteps and bring both feet together sharply. This will cause the ball to pop up in front of you.

As in the last, use your RF instep to flick the ball up and LF to back heel it over the defender.


SAM

The Surface to Air Missile was one I came up with accidentally...and is not technically in accordance with the spirit of the game. However if you've been hacked all over the park for the entire game with no support from the ref, it is a handy one to be able to pull off.

The equivalent of bowling a bouncer in Cricket, you simply flick the ball up into the air slightly and volley it at the defender's head!! He'll either duck and you're away or it'll make his nose bleed...you win either way! Please don't coach this one to youngsters, and I don't condone the use of this trick or the use of violent behaviour in the slightest.

[bran d]

custom move
when u are stationary with a defender infront of u,
roll the ball back with your stronger foot,
as the ball approaches u have the same foot that u dragged the ball back with ready to make your next move.
now let the ball roll up your stronger foot and flick the ball up and over the stationary defender,
run past the defender and collect the ball.
optional- after u complete your stunning trick have a look
around at some of the stunned and skill witnesed faces of your team mates :lol:. [some of your teamates faces may look like this :faint2: :lol:

PS can someone please help me think of a name for this trick :star:.

[ac_22_milan]

if u made it up put u rname and flick as it

[Freestyle4life]

ehh... rainbow is really easy.. try around the world, pretty easy to. or hop the world. And geez.. can you guys rly not do all these simple things? and a lot of the stuff here is way to simple.. maybe a double step over with a op leg flip fake or somthing..

sounds like a piece of poo

[Freestyle4life]

Agreed

[ole21]

yea seriously guys...i wanna see some better stuff. i mean i could rainbow a ball in 5th grade. haha.
what i love doing is not so much those supper complicated tricks that could maybe be used once in a season. instead i like the deception stuff. for example: a teammate is making the obvious overlapping run (behind you), you take a glance the use the botom of your foot to pretend to roll it back to him, but instead take off with the ball forward. (it works extemely well, if used right). Most of all i love usefull tricks that can be used in the flow of the game. idk if you guys get what i'm saying, but can anyone relate? can you explain some useful tricks you've used in the flow of the game?

[bran d]

well i think fake kicks have a floww with the game.

[ole21]

oh they absolutley do! i love that kind of stuff and the deception.

[bran d]

but things like stepovers while stationary don't.
you've got my style i love things with that special flow

[smithxi]

Robinho does stationary stepovers all the time. But I think stationary stepovers are a bit slow to do.

[bran d]

Robinho does stationary stepovers all the time. But I think stationary stepovers are a bit slow to do.

not when you've got what's called laser legs ['means you've got
quick legs like Ronaldinho].

'remember,they don't have that special flow
but there still good moves to use. :D

[smithxi]

Yeah but Robinho will hardly ever truly beat a player with speed *anymore*. He will maybe beat a player and pass, or shoot, but never out-run them for a break-away OR goal scoring opportunity, IMO, Robinho's performance has gone down since the signing.

Well all I'm saying is Robinho doesn't do what he did before. I didn't see it.

[Xizor]

What kind of tricks can you guys do?

[smithxi]

left outside-atw
right outside-atw
left inside-atw
right inside-atw
left footed over ball x-over
pancake
a couple different pop-ups
neck stall
leg catch "sometimes"
head stall "sometimes"

and I'm getting close to doing a TATW which I think is impossible.

and a couple other pancake like tricks I can do.

http://expertfootball.com/gossip/answer.php?qid=370

[el chingon]

lol im not that good at doing freestyle tricks.

I dont really practice freestyle, maybe if i did i would learn more tricks. But all i know is....

Outside ATW with both feet
i can do that "X-over" trick
and i can catch the ball with te back of my head.

[Xizor]

I can't really do that many tricks at all! :sad: All I really do when I play soccer is give great passes and assists.

[smithxi]

if you go to that website i posted they have little clips of almost all the tricks.

[Xizor]

Oh ok, thanks dude! :)

[el chingon]

Today i finally did the double ATW.

[Xizor]

I tried a "chilena" yesterday, I messed up my back very bad!

[Manchester 23]

G'day im new to this but i love soccer could anyone get me started with some easy tricks cause i cant do many

There is no place like home trick sounds pretty kool
im going to make up my own trick and i'll tell u about it Thanx alot:)

[Ballsmith]

I really have mastered this one now. Starting to win free kicks all the time.
Thats OK though.....cos I scored one on Saturday. Yiouuuu Bieautyyyyy!!!

[bran d]

??? -
this is a trick which is something that just improves the look of your move.
what u do is lift on to your toes and flicking one foot to your left side [which would be left foot] and then mirror your move with your opposite foot.
the motion would be like doing stepovers but all behind the ball.

u might not completly understand what i've typed but it was as good as i could explain.

[gopal229]

yo i need sum good easy tricks but still cool

[sovereign22]

Easy but effect tricks:

You kind of have to time this one right and sometimes it's luck but everytime I do it, it seems to produce good results:

When running with the ball and a defender is coming on your right when he is at your right hip use the outside of your right foot to cut the ball infront of him but behind his step and you should get a nutmeg. Very tricky trick :)

Another simple not even trick I like is when sprinting with the ball towards the goal and a defender is chasing you, let him get a little infront will he is trying to square up on you cut one way and when he turns cut the other way. It is way more effective if you cut when he is running while looking backwards at your trying to recover.

[bran d]

does anyone know any forms of the stepover which actually beats the defender rather then just doing it for no reason.

[UnitedSoccer11]

Anybody know the name, if it has one, where you start juggling the ball then as someone comes to you, you tap it back, while its in the air, then hit it with your heel to your front. I know this sounds some-what like the rainbow but I don't think it would be unless it was like a half-rainbow or something.:rainbow:

[Hollister_13]

does anyone know any forms of the stepover which actually beats the defender rather then just doing it for no reason.

My most used trick: the step-over turn

What: the man with the ball appears to be going one way and suddenly turns back the other way with the defender dumbfounded

Situation: a defender is closing in on you from the rear

Possesion: you have the ball

How: (ex) act as if you want to go to the left (leaning, looking, dribbling etc. that way); with your right foot, bring it around the ball (counter-clockwise) and plant it as it gets to the left side of the ball; pick up your right foot almost simutaneously as it was planted, and push the ball (with the outside of your right foot) back the opposite way; explode away

If you want, really emphasize that step-over with the right foot to dramatically boost the effect of the manuever.

[Rickster]

Has anyone tried the move that Rodrigo Taddei did in the CL this season?. Well basically:

(If you're RF). Use your instep of RF to pull the ball behind your LF (planted). When the ball passes you planted foot (by this time the ball should be to the left of you) use the outside of your foot to push the ball infront of your left foot.

yeah mate, i can do that i think i posted it in here before aswell...

[SiN]

I used the roll over trick a few times this week and it really worked, its when u use the sole of ur boots/feet to roll the ball in towards u as u run along and then flick the ball with ur other foot away from the opponent causing him/her to stop momentarily as you gather speed and sprint away.

[Xizor]

Dam have you guys ever attempted to do like 15 "bisicletas"(as we call them in Spanish) to your oponent, it's very dificult man!

[SiN]

What is that?? Can u explain the technique??

[Xizor]

What is that?? Can u explain the technique??

Check the move Macini makes before the goal:

[Brownsta]

nice but i would really prefer tuts any1 hav plz post

speed is probably one of the best ways to beat defender/defenders.

[jelly123]

speed is probably one of the best ways to beat defender/defenders.
uve still gotta have abit of skill to do sumthing with the ball let alone a trick speed is only good when u can do sumthing with the ball n fool the defender/s

[bran d]

watching cristiano ronaldo play is just magnificent. It looks like he called just beat every player on the pitch.

[bran d]

can anyone tell me what a 'shimmy' is?

[bran d]

yay! that was my 250th post. Now i'm a club subsitute rank.

[Adidas Tyrant]

I was just wondering but has a new thread come up with all the tricks? if so can you post a link to it.

[Adidas Tyrant]

and i just came up with this new move. idk if its already been used or created but what you do is put the ball by ure right foot. right foot on the ball and roll it in towards ure body but out in front of you so you can step with ure left leg and let it go threw. then very quickly take ure right foot and swing it behind ure left leg to hit the ball a few yards in front of you. you can beat people with speed or you can bridge them if u hit it well enough.(a bridge is passing the ball around a defender and running around the other side of the defender to get it .)

[Socc£r_Trikster]

can someone plz get m started im new to soccer. so if you guys hvae any tricks to show or to tell me plz email me at yash_styler@hotmail.com
