Skill of the week: PULLBACK

Date
Monday, August 19, 2019

Description

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.
