Soccer Exercise
Jump Feint + American Fake + Instep Dribble
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
Setup
Each player has a ball. Either set up a cone square or let players perform the exercise freely on the field.
Procedure
The ball is played with the inside of the right foot to the left. The foot goes in front of the ball to the left so it can be played lightning-fast with the right outside. During the technique sequence, a body feint to the left is faked, but the player dribbles right with the right outside. Then the player dribbles briefly and pulls the ball with the sole behind the standing leg. He then turns the ankle inward so the ball is shielded by the foot, and plays the ball with the inside in the opposite running direction (backward). Then he executes a maximum-speed instep dribble. The player alternates using the right and left instep (twice each right and left). 1-2 - Jump feint sequence: inside - instep 3 - Ball control with right 4 - Pass ball with sole/inside and turn 180 degrees 5-8 - Instep dribble, starting with left, alternating right/left (each foot twice)
Tip
Jump feint technique: - The ball is lightly tapped lightning-fast with the right inside. The foot goes in front of the ball to the left so it can be played lightning-fast with the right outside. - The foot is on the right ball of the foot. - The leg is bent. - Alternating upper body position between upright and leaning forward. American Fake technique: - When executing this technique with the right foot, the body rotation occurs over the left standing leg. - The upper body is slightly leaning forward at the start of the dribble and becomes somewhat more upright when stopping and pulling the ball back. - Do not lean backward. - The ankle for hooking with the inside must be locked open, with toes pointing toward the ground. - The ankle is turned 90 degrees inward. - The standing leg also moves to the side. - The foot shields the ball so the opponent cannot play it. - When executed, a 180-degree turn occurs followed by a dribble in the opposite running direction (backward). - Most players only use the sole or forget to turn the ankle and shield the ball. Instep technique: - The ankle must be locked open. - Bend the leg. - Touch the ball only very lightly (fine technique) with the upper body leaning forward. - Alternate looking at the ball and looking up; do not play with the inside or outside of the foot. - This technique improves fine technique, teaches locking the ankle open, and thereby develops better shooting technique for volleys, inside-of-the-foot shots, and full instep shots.
