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.

Set it up like this. A friend to pass to, off to one side.

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

Where the ball actually goes

The strip shows you; this shows the ball. Every turn in this book is a shape on the grass.

The shape the ball draws

D 1 2 3 4 Seen from above · you start at the feet

You pass it round them and run onto the return.

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.
