(Usually about 20-30 seconds) Skills: Push-Pull-Inside-- Push the ball forward and pull it back with the sole of the foot while turning and then take the ball with the inside of the same foot. Push-Pull-Outside-- Push the ball forward and pull the ball back with the sole then touch the ball to the outside with the outside of the same foot. Pull turn --Touch ball forward with one foot and pull it back with the other while turning toward ball and take the ball in the opposite direction with the inside or outside of the first foot. Inside of foot cut -- Push ball forward, move past ball and turn toward ball and take it with the inside of the foot in the opposite direction. Outside of foot cut -- Push ball forward, move past ball and turn toward ball while taking it with the outside of the foot in the opposite direction.
