Do Freestyle Soccer Tricks

Ever wanted to do amazing soccer tricks? No one around for a pick up game? You can still do some soccer moves with these easy steps.

Prepare With The Basics

First move is the rainbow. This is one of the most popular moves. But only do this trick if you are feeling very comfortable in the game. Don't just throw it out there, do it at the right time in the right place. If you don't do it well at first, just try to retrieve the ball. Don't attempt again until at least 20 minutes.
- Take the soccer ball and put your dominant foot in front with the heel of your shoe touching the ball. Now take your non-dominant foot and place that so the ball will fit perfectly into the curve in your shoe.
- Now roll the ball up the back of your dominant leg (the leg that is in front of the ball.) Hold it there. Have it at the most a foot above the ground, (try to have it {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} above your front leg back of the *shoe*.
- Now roll the ball up the back of your leg and release your back leg away from the "trick area" (where the ball is) now swing you front leg backwards, hitting the ball with your heal. The ball, after a lot of practice, should go over your head in the shape of a rainbow.

This move is considered relatively simpler but very impressive and a strategic one. You can throw this move out there more often by being careful.
First, put your dominant shoe on top of the ball, but only the toes, the back of shoe should be touching the ground behind the ball. Now roll back quickly and get your toes under the ball while the ball is in the air for a short amount of time.
Quickly slide the ball down the top of your shoe and squeeze the ball between your shoe and shin.

This move is fairly popular, you can do this as an evasive move (very good for defense, dodging, stuff like that.)
When someones running at you for the ball, don't run towards them just stay there. Pretend like you're trying to think of what to do next.
When he/she comes really close and slides for the ball whip it back.
It goes behind you. Now hit the ball to the opposite side of your dominant foot with the side of your shoe. This all should be done in one clean fluent motion.

Look on the Internet for soccer tutorials. Some websites offer free videos and tutorials to help people learn a variety of soccer tricks and freestyle tricks.
Watching other experienced soccer players also turns very useful.

Some tricks require a lot of balance, so don't practice on concrete because you might fall and injure yourself.
These move (especially rainbow) may cause damage to shins if not done correctly, approximately 1 out of 50 times you'll hit yourself with your foot. So it is best to be ready.
