Outside-of-the-Boot Pass

★★★★☆ Age 10+ both feet Level 4 · Signature Moves

You pass with the outside of your boot, so the ball bends round things. You never have to turn your body.

Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

Practise it — Bend it round

Put a cone in the way. 15 passes round it.

Coach says

Toes down and in. The bend comes from the ankle.

Watch out

  • Opening your hips, which turns it into a normal pass.
  • Hitting the bottom of the ball, so it flies up.
