CRUYFF TURN - Stand one yard behind the ball. Step towards the ball and place the standing foot between your starting position and the ball about 6 inches from the ball. Swivel the foot 90 degrees from angle of approach to the ball. With the left foot it will be 90 degrees left and vice versa with the right foot. Withdraw the thigh of the other leg back away from the ball as if winding up to strike it and rapidly bring the foot forward as if to pass. At the last split second hook the non standing foot around the far side of ball until the knee of the non standing leg is turned inwards towards the knee of the standing leg (Knock knee position) and pull ball behind you with an upward “Donkey Kicking” motion alongside the standing foot. Continue to turn to your left if you use the right foot to do move and to the right with the left foot. Explode for 5 yards to finish.

FAKE PASS/INSIDE STEPOVER (RIVELINO) - Stand with both feet to one side of the ball. Rapidly bring the foot forward towards the ball as if to pass but miss the ball and cut the grass across the front of the ball with the sole of furthest foot to the ball until that foot is 3 inches on the other side of the ball from where it was first positioned. As you are doing this cut the grass with the other foot across the back of the ball until that foot is 12 inches on the other side of the ball from where it was first positioned. The ball should be played away with the outside of the foot that is now 3 inches from the ball at a “forwards” forty-five degree angle from the way the player is facing. Explode for 5 yards to finish.
SWIVEL STEPOVER - Stand with both feet to one side of the ball. Rapidly bring the foot forward towards the ball as if to pass but miss the ball and cut the grass across the front of the ball with the sole of furthest foot to the ball until that foot is 3 inches on the other side of the ball from where it was first positioned. As you are doing this cut the grass with the other foot across the back of the ball until that foot is 12 inches on the other side of the ball from where it was first positioned, (Note: this is the same as the Rivelino but the foot placement is more to the front far side of the ball to allow the correct backward angle for the play away). The hips should now be swiveled and the ball should now be played away with the outside of the foot that is now 3 inches from the ball at a backwards 225 degree angle from the way the player is facing. Explode for 5 yards to finish

FAKE SHOT/PULL BACK AND PLAY BEHIND LEG - Place the standing foot 9 inches behind the ball. Withdraw the thigh of the other leg back away from the ball as if winding up for a powerful shot and rapidly bring the foot forward as if shooting. At the last second pull the toe up and make slight contact with the sole of the foot on the ball. Now pull the ball back alongside the standing foot and let it go 12 inches past the standing leg. Bring the foot you pulled the ball with to the outside of the ball with the heel low and the toe up and play the ball across the back of the standing leg at a 90 degree angle to the original pull back direction with the very middle of the inside of the foot. Explode for 5 yards to finish.
