Introducing turns, moves and different tricks with the ball may not seem to be so relevant when playing the game but what it does is help inspire the player to have fun with the ball, practice with the ball and develop a control which requires hours and hours of practice alone with the ball.

The tricks and moves can make that practice interesting and infinite. Asked the kids what their favorite move in soccer is or have them come back next week having mastered their favorite one.

Here is a link to a bunch in the coaching resources section under videos/turns and moves:
