How to Do Soccer Fakes

In this indestructible, you will learn 2 soccer moves, The Maradona, and the Scissors. Each move will be slowed down, even the finished move so you can easily follow along!

You will only need a few supplies!

• A wide open space
• A soccer ball
• Some sort of sneakers, or cleats to your preference

First step, you will want to work on your ball control, by doing some basic warm ups.

• Tic Tacs
• Ball taps
• Pull backs
• And short passes (with either a wall or a person)

For the first part of the Scissor Move, you are going to take your dominate foot (mine is my right), and circle it around the top of your ball.

After circling your dominate foot around the ball, you will want to take your non-dominate foot and tap the ball sideways with the outside of your foot.

Put it all together and this is what you get! One video is slowed down, and one is slightly sped up. Good Luck!

For the first step, you will take a few touches forward, then put your dominate foot over the ball so it is above the ball, then turn and put your non-dominate foot on top of the ball. You should end facing the opposite direction that you started.

The next step of the maradona, is to use your non-dominate foot and slide the ball backward with you, while turning your body to face the opposite direction. After turning in this, and the previous step, you should have done a full 360 turn and be facing the same way you started.

Put it all together and you should get something like this, start slow (as shown) and then speed it up. To go around someone, you should be turning to the side of whatever opponent you are trying to get passed. Good Luck!
