Skill of the Week: BEARDSLEY and STOP & GO

Date
Monday, March 23, 2020

Description

BEARDSLEY
Begin with your right foot on the ball with your cleats touching the top.  Scrape your foot to the left to set the ball into motion, rolling to the left.  Then stop it for an instant with your left foot, before you quickly "scrape" it again and get it rolling again to the left.     The Beardsley is sometimes referred to as a "Hip Swivel".  This move works well down the wing to find space for a cross.  It also works at the 18 yard line to make room for a shot.

BEARDSLEY (Stop & Start)

STOP & GO
Stop the ball with the bottom of the foot, and with push with the opposite foot to go!
