Rainbow

So here's a move that you'll either be applauded for or laughed at. Very difficult and you'll rarely ever use it in a game, a Rainbow.

The ball starts on the ground then both feet go on either side of the ball, one leg rolls the ball up the leg as the other flicks it over the opponent. Soccer moves like this are much easier said then done believe me. It will take a long time for you to learn this skill no matter your level.

Things to Remember About the Rainbow:

-This move takes time to learn and to be honest no need to ever use it in a real match

-Squeeze the ball and in one fluent motion roll and flick

-Practice it stationary before you move on to doing it at game speed

-Don't let your coach see you try it in a game! May be the last time you see the field

Pull Back Vee

The Pull Back Vee is quick, simple and lethal. Best executed when mimicking pass first before pulling it back the Pull Back Vee is all about timing.

The move is executed when the ball is slightly in front of you on the far side of your body and you pull it down towards you with the bottom of your foot then up the opposite way with the inside of the same foot. Creating a "V" hence the name.

Things to remember about the Pull Back Vee:

-More of a stationary move not one done at full speed

-The quicker the better

-Commit to it, don't do half of it then think "oh no I'm done for".

-One of many great soccer moves for escaping pressure

Rivelino

The Rivelino is a special move, simplicity and disguise at it's finest. As you run naturally with the ball you fake running over it completely by stepping completely over it with the inside of the ball carrying foot, then taking it with the outside of the same foot. Oh and just like all soccer moves, the faster the better.

Things to remember about the Rivelino:

-Don't wait for the defender to bite, do all parts in fluidity.

-Again, the faster the better.

-Set it up like it's a fake pass or shot, the second where the defender flinches is where you'll skin them.

Reverse Matthews

The Reverse Matthews similar to the regular Matthews just reversed. Instead of taking a quick touch with the inside of your foot then taking it with the outside of your foot you now start with the outside.

This move will work best when going at speed and executed as quick as possible. A common mistake when failing to execute soccer moves likes this is either doing it too slowly or getting the ball caught under your feet.

Things to remember about the Reverse Matthews:

-The second touch with the outside of your foot should be a relatively long touch to escape the defender.

-At speed!!!

-Don't over do it and lose its element of surprise.

Cut

The Cut may be the most basic move to beat a defender out there. Their are several variations of the cut but the most basic is taking the ball with the inside of your foot across the defender from one side to the other "cutting" the ball quickly.

The move will work even better if you push it a little forward with the same foot your cutting it with before executing the move.

Things to remember about the Cut:

-Setting up the cut is as important as anything, open you hips one way, bring the ball across to the other side.

-Execute the move quickly or it will be ineffective.

-One touch cut, don't over complicate a simple move.

Elastico

Flip flap or the snake are other common names for the Elastico. Can be done standing or at speed but much more effective while moving and harder of course. High level of skill needed but high level of reward comes with it, the reward is making the defender check for you in his closet before he goes to sleep. The move is performed by hitting the ball with the outside of your foot then inside in one fluent motion as the foot snaps. Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho.

Things to remember about the Elastico:

-Make sure the defender is about 1-3 yards away from you, not more.

-Commit to it and do it quickly or you'll fail

-Don't over use it and take it's element of surprise away, give this and your other soccer moves your own twist.

-Keep your knees fairly bent

15 Tips for Improving Your Juggling Skills

Now, let me give you some tips on how to improve your juggling skills.

1. Keep the ball low and move your foot down when starting to kick the ball. By doing this you will increase your juggling skills and the ball will stay in the air longer.

2. Always juggle with both feet.

3. Try to practice often. After all, practice really is the key to success.

4. Once you get comfortable with several juggling methods you could try using them all together. This will help you increase your quickness and eye-body coordination.

5. If you have just started to learn soccer juggling you could practice with a balloon. This will develop a great touch on the ball through slow and continuous training.

6. Keep your rhythm with the ball at the same level while juggling.

7. Don't forget that the right method for you is the one that actually works with your style. If a certain way doesn't work so well, you can practice on it to make your juggling skills even more lethal.

8. Gain better control of the ball by keeping it low.

9. Don't get panic if you are near your personal record. Try to be relaxed and just keep on juggling.

10. Always stay focused and make sure to look at the ball with a steady balance.

11. Try to spin the ball toward you when dropping it. This will make the ball keep on coming back and you will not drop it on the ground as often as you would with no spin.

12. Spinning the ball is the real secret of juggling.

13. The best way to start out is to use the instep of your kicking foot. This part of foot is much more flat and will enable the ball to fly straight up. Once you master this technique you could move on juggling with thighs and your head.

14. To regain control over the ball you could use a flick kick. This is done primarily through lifting your kicking leg so that your toes are parallel to the ground. Then, use your hips and thighs for power and strike the ball with the outside of the ankle. The ball will bounce straight up from this action. If you have given it the right amount of power, the ball will even fly over your head!

15. Practice on soccer freestyle as it will indirectly improve your juggling skills and ball control.
