Baby V's Right and Left Foot
The 'baby V' — pulling the ball back and pushing it out at an angle with the same foot — builds the tight, V-shaped touch that escapes pressure and opens a new passing or dribbling angle.
How to do it
With the sole of one foot pull the ball back, then push it forward and out to the side with the inside of the same foot, tracing a small 'V'. Alternate feet. Practice once, then count your V's over 30 seconds at pace.

Cruyff Right/Left Foot
Named after Johan Cruyff, this drag-behind-the-standing-leg move trains the disguised turn that creates instant separation from a defender.
Juggle (All Parts)
Free juggling across feet, thighs and head builds all-round air control and the composure to keep the ball alive from any touch.
Juggle (Feet Only)
Juggling with your feet builds the soft, balanced first touch and air control that translate directly into cushioning passes out of the air in a game.
Juggle (Head Only)
Heading repetitions build the timing, neck strength and soft contact that make controlled headers and aerial duels feel natural.
Juggle Left (Kick Catch)
Kicking the ball straight up with your left foot and catching it — with no spin and without moving — builds the clean, square laces contact that is the foundation of juggling and striking with your weaker foot.
Juggle Right (Kick Catch)
Kicking the ball straight up with your right foot and catching it — no spin, without moving — grooves the clean, square laces contact that underpins juggling and striking the ball.
