PULLBACK
Sometimes called a 'DRAG' BACK, this move utilizes the sole (cleats) of the shoe to "drag" the ball back towards the new direction, in one swift pivoting motion. The "turn-away" pullback is slightly different from a 'Cruyff' in that it uses the sole of the foot to drag the ball backwards.
Key Point: Be sure to pivot with the ball as it is being 'pulled back'... escape with pace!
The 'Pull Back' should not be used anywhere near one's own penalty area or anywhere in the middle of the field where an alert defender could begin a dangerous breakaway.

"We can't emphasize enough the important role that parents play in participating in their Childs development before entering into organized play. It's like teaching your child to learn the alphabet, words, vocabulary and simple sentence structure before expecting them to read a book on their own. BALL MASTERY plays a crucial role in laying down the FOUNDATION upon which the entire game is taught and learnt.” - Tom Byers
