Take Inside Cut - Static Ball Control Drills for U8-U9

Tutorial

When starting with the right foot:

(Switch left and right below when starting with the left foot)

1. Take the ball with the outside (of the laces) of the right foot.
2. Move both feet to close in on the ball.
3. Cut the ball with the inside of the right foot.
4. As soon as the ball is stopped and without touching the ground, jump on the supporting foot to bring the right foot beyond the ball.
5. Turn the body in the right direction (to the left).
6. Take the ball with the left foot.
7. Step 1-6 is the same for the left foot.

Things to watch out for:

1. Try to stay on an imaginary line without moving forward or backward.
2. Cut the ball to make it stop. Do not make an explicit move to let it roll in the opposite direction.
3. Make sure there is plenty of room to take the ball after the inside cut.
