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 Stop/Turn
A method of turning where the soccer player uses the bottom to his foot to stop the ball while on a fast run, lets his momentum carry him a step or two past the ball, but quickly turns and comes back to the ball. Similar to a “Pullback” except the ball is not pulled back and the player makes the turn away from the ball, whereas on a Pullback the player turns toward the ball.
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 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.
