Soccer Turns
The primary methods of turning in soccer are the “Pullback” (aka “Drag Back”), the “Hook” (aka the outside-of-foot hook), the “Soccer Cutback” (aka the inside-of-foot hook) and the “Stop/Turn”. These are described herein and in Soccer Techniques and Fancy Footwork, which is part of the Premium soccer site.
Soccer Pullback
(aka “Drag Back”). A pullback is executed by placing the bottom of the foot on the soccer ball, rolling it (or flicking it) backward, and turning with it. It is a way to quickly reverse direction. Every soccer player U-8 & older should know how to do a pullback. A “Stop/Turn” also uses the bottom of the foot to stop the soccer ball but doesn’t pull the soccer ball back. (See “Stop/Turn”). Other primary methods of turning include the Outside-of-foot Hook and the Inside-of -foot Hook, which is also called a “Cutback”. (See Practice Games, “Dribble Across a Square”).
Soccer Inside-of-Foot Hook
(aka “Cutback”). See “Cutback“.
Soccer Hook Turn
(aka “Cut” or “Cutback”). A technique for reversing direction by using the inside or outside of the foot to “cut”, “chop” or “hook” the ball. This is done by turning the foot and pulling the toes up so the laces can hook or chop the ball & cause it reverse direction. Keep in mind that people in different parts of the world use different terms. This can be confusing, and sometimes people use terms for similar but slightly different things. For example, some people use the term “hook” to mean using the inside or outside of the foot to reverse the direction of the ball (a 180 degree turn), and might use the term “cut” to mean using the inside or outside of the foot to chop the ball so it goes to the left or right (a 90 degree turn). (See “Outside-of-Foot Reverse” game and “Outside-of-Foot”).
Soccer Foot Skills
Soccer Foot Skills fall into 3 categories: Soccer Dribbling, Soccer Turns and Soccer Feints (obviously there is overlap here). The primary methods of turning are the “Pullback”, the “Cutback” and the “Hook”. Some important Feints are the “Scissors”, the “Cruyff Move”, the “Fake Kick”, the “Matthews Move” and the “Change of Speed”. These are defined herein and in “Soccer Techniques and Fancy Soccer Footwork” which is part of the Premium site.
Soccer Cutback
(aka “Inside-of-Foot Hook”). Using the inside of foot to chop the soccer ball across the body to the left or right as a way to change soccer direction.
