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”).
