Turning with the ball allows the player
in possession to:
Create space for himself
Change the direction of play
Lose a close marker
There are various ways of turning when in possession of the
ball. First we deal with the twist, using the inside of the
foot. We call it the 'inside hook.'
Key Points
Position the ball out in front.
Move forward, feinting as if to kick the ball.
Take a long stride forward, reach for and 'hook' the ball
with the inside of the front foot.
Pivot on the back foot.
Turn the body in the same way as the ball has been 'hooked',
transferring the body weight on to the 'hooking' foot as you
take the first stride.
Accelerate out of the turn.
Repeat, using short ten- yard runs
