Soccer Moves - Dribbling and Long Passing

Dribbling and long passing are soccer moves that any youth soccer coach needs to train his team about.

1. Dribbling

Dribbling is one of the most important soccer skills in soccer. Dribbling is the ability of the player to move the ball up and down the field. In order to dribble, the player has to move the ball back and forth from one foot to the other. The coach can train the players to do this by shoving, pushing, tapping, or nudging the ball with the inside, outside, or sole of the foot.

2. Long Passing

Long passing is another essential type of passing in soccer. When you want to pass the ball to a teammate who is far away, you need to execute a long pass.

In order to teach the team how to execute a successful long pass, the coaches should instruct the players to approach the ball at a slight angle, keeping the non-kicking foot to the side and slightly behind the ball, and striking the ball low, with the instep, and following through with a full swing.

Another important thing in doing these soccer moves to beat an opponent is that the foot should follow through in the direction in which the pass is made.
