Bolasie Flick

The Around-the-Back

★★★★★ Age 11+ both feet Level 4 · Signature Moves

Your foot goes round the back of your own standing leg. From there it flicks the ball the other way.

Set it up like this. Ball rolling slowly across you, someone at your side.

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

Round the back, not over the top.

  • Reaching before the ball is far enough across.
